A Place for Pickle

Pickle and her mom sleep in the mountains every night.
In the mornings, the whole troop of baboons search for food.
Sometimes there isn’t enough food on the mountain and on the beach.
Then they have to go to the village.
A mean man wants to chase Pickle and her mom out of a loquat tree.
But the woman and little girl who live there don’t mind that they come to visit.
Pickle now knows they have friends in the village.

Also available in Afrikaans as ‘n Plek vir Patat.
