After a hot day in South Africa's Mpumalanga bushveld, Noko, a young crested porcupine with a big heart, scurries out of his burrow to meet up with his many friends at Nature's Night School. But just before he leaves, his parents summon him back with exciting news. He's going to be a big brother! Unfortunately, Noko isn't nearly as thrilled as his mother and father. Noko is the baby of the family, and he thinks it should stay that way. A charming story of friendship and compassion, NOKO THE KNIGHT(R) is the perfect tale for young readers who are learning how to express their budding emotions and to navigate healthy friendships as they do so.
