Summary of Shugri Said Salh's The Last Nomad

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was six years old when I saw a herd of warthogs grazing nearby. I had an urge to chase them, but my ayeeyo warned me against it. I was determined to test her theory myself, so I followed them. The adults turned and charged me, and I was the prey.

#2 I was a city girl who had been waiting eagerly to be allowed to enter the first grade. When my father, a well-respected English and Arabic teacher and religious scholar, said I would be in first grade, no one would go against him.

#3 I had spent the first five years of my life traveling back and forth between my ayeeyo’s lands and my parents’ house in the city of Galkayo, but during first grade, I lived the whole time in the city with my parents and siblings.

#4 My father, like many Somali men, traveled around trying to find a place that felt like home. He finally settled in Galkayo, where he built his house and lived the rest of his life.
