Hockey Night in Kenya by Eric Walters
Kenyan orphans, Kitoo and Nigosi, spend their days studying, playing soccer, helping their elders with chores around the orphanage and reading from the limited selection of books in their library. When the librarian finds a box of damaged books that she can't shelve, she offers them to Kitoo who becomes fascinated by one called Sports Around the World. Kitoo is particularly interested in an image of the Canadian Ice Hockey team. When the fates align and Kitoo finds a pair of beat up old roller blades, he teaches himself to skate and dreams of one day playing hockey like the men in his book. But you can't play ice hockey in Kenya, can you?Eric Walters, a Member of the Order of Canada, began writing in 1993 as a way to pique the interest of his fifth-grade children in reading and writing. Since then, he has released over a hundred novels and picture books. He is a relentless speaker who speaks to over 100,000 youngsters in schools around the country each year. He currently resides in Guelph, Ontario. Visit www.ericwalters.net for additional information.
