A school-day mishap story set in Nairobi

A Grade 2 teacher’s two-year move to Nairobi, Kenya frames this children’s story about a day when careful preparation does not prevent a string of embarrassing disruptions. Ms. Nanji has trained for the routines of teaching, including punctuality, but unfamiliar circumstances and school-day accidents quickly test that readiness. Questions about cake-stained clothing, classroom animals, and her students’ reactions shape a premise built around the gap between a teacher’s expectations and what actually unfolds. Nairobi is more than a backdrop here: it marks a period of living away from home and adapting to a place she knows in a new way.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Kids ages 9–12 interested in school-based stories
  • Readers who enjoy humorous everyday mishaps
  • Children curious about stories set in Nairobi, Kenya

Book overview

Ms. Nanji, a slightly clumsy Grade 2 teacher, moves to Nairobi, Kenya to teach for two years. Although this is not a new place for her, this is the first time she's lived away from home for so long. What could possibly go wrong? She learned a lot of great things while training to become a teacher, such as, ahem, punctuality. However, she is not prepared for the events that take place on this particular day. What does a teacher find embarrassing? How many pieces of cake does it take to ruin two pairs of pants? Will she have to deal with African animals in her classroom? How bizarre can a day at school truly be? Will she ever recover from this day? And what will the students think?
