Joy and David are a reporter and photographer duo at their school, on the hunt for exciting new stories. One day, they meet a mysterious man transporting water on a bike, with a secret they’re determined to uncover. As they work to solve the mystery of the water man, they gain an important lesson on the power of community.

Copper/Band 12 books provide more complex plots and longer chapters that develop reading stamina. Ideas for guided reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.

Nairobi-based illustrator Wanjira blends heritage, nature, and playfulness into distinct visual stories. A design graduate from the University of Nairobi, she creates art that champions environmental conservation and cultural motifs, working with clients such as The New Yorker  and Google Doodle. When she isn't illustrating for charitable initiatives or editorial projects, Wanjira is scouting ethical fashion or finding inspiration in cinema and soul music. She is currently focused on expanding her work into children’s books and sustainable sneaker design.
