Zakari and the Great Puppy Parade
Zakari and Friends · Book 1
Zakari has mapped out a backyard parade for Buster the puppy. Her little sister Ziyana brings her own ideas — and Buster brings a few surprises. Muddy paws, a cardboard castle and a missing puppy turn their careful preparations into an adventure in working together. This illustrated read-aloud follows two sisters learning to tell the truth, share the lead and make room for each other.
A picture-book approach to sibling relationships: character, visual storytelling and a read-aloud rhythm, with cooperation explored through a playful backyard adventure.
Meet Zakari and Friends
Zakari, Ziyana and Buster lead this family read-aloud, with Kitty the cat to spot in the illustrations. The story explores imagination, mistakes, honesty and listening to someone else’s ideas.
This is Book 1 in Zakari and Friends, by Darius F. Sanders, also the author of The Tiger’s Missing Stripes.
