Frugal Fiction proudly diversifies its offerings with Halima, which explores the experiences of a typical African girl-child who is often discriminated against because of her gender. In most African countries, the male child is given preference to the girl and, more often than not, receives more privileges and opportunities than the girl. The purpose of the book is to speak for the girl-child to be given equal opportunity with the boy-child for the simple reason that the gender of a child does not say anything about anybody’s destiny, talent[s] or intelligence.

Perfect for the pre-teen, this story shares a powerful tale that addresses self-worth and self-actualization, and makes us grateful for the opportunties our daughters and grandaughters enjoy.
