In a sun-baked North African kasbah where ancient walls hold centuries of stories, young MoMo dreams of taking flight. With his faithful companion Duck by his side and a flock of goats under his care, MoMo navigates between his earthbound responsibilities and soaring aspirations. When the opportunity for education presents itself - the first in his family's history - it promises to be the wind beneath his wings.
 
Through MoMo's eyes, we experience a world where swallows might be calling your name, where a duck's "quack" can mean yes, no, or maybe, and where the distance between reality and dreams is measured by the span of a goose's wings.
 
But as storm clouds gather and family expectations swirl like desert winds, MoMo must learn what it truly means to fly.
This lyrical tale, told through a blend of vivid narrative and poetic interludes, captures the universal journey of growing up while remaining deeply rooted in the rich cultural landscape of North Africa. MoMo's story speaks to readers of all ages, weaving together themes of tradition and change, family bonds and personal dreams, responsibility and freedom. Perfect for fans of "The Little Prince" and Michael Morpurgo's work, this enchanting novel reminds us that sometimes the most important flights we take are those of the imagination.
 
Recommended for ages 9 and up, MoMo is a story that grows alongside its readers, offering new layers of meaning with each return visit to the kasbah's weathered walls.
