Do you know why dogs always chase after the matatus?
Kioko had been watching the matatus come and go for as long as he could remember. But today, for his fifth birthday, he climbs aboard one with his grandfather. As the matatu pulls away from the market, the village dogs chase after them. When Kioko asks his grandfather why the dogs always bark and chase after matatus, his grandfather tells him an entertaining tale about a dog, a goat and a sheep. Set in East Africa, The Matatu is a colorful story filled with many unexpected turns and twists along the way.

E very culture has its own folktales and stories.
Among the Kamba of Kikima, Kenya, where the Creation of
Hope project operates, there is a story told about animals and
matatus—the public means of transporting people and goods.
Eric Walters and I were driving around the project one day when
I told him a brief version of the story about the goat, the sheep
and the dog. He found this story so hilarious, he decided to
expand it and create a picturebook.
We believe Kamba stories should be told by members of our
tribe. In June of 2009, Eric was made a Kamba elder. It is only
fitting that Eric has expanded and retold this Kamba story,
as we consider him one of our own.
—Ruth Kyatha
Director, The Creation of Hope
