Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is the fictionalized story of 'Yula', a character inspired by a real girl Sharon Jennings met in her visits to the Hope Development Centre in Kenya. When four-year-old Yula is discovered by the orphanage director 'Mum' and introduced to a caring home and school, her abilities develop as do her understandings of how to care for others.
