Down by the Mangroves
For fifth-grader Moyna, life is full: school, friends and parents who think the world of her. Her backyard just happens to be a vast mangrove delta, where herons stand as still as secrets, kingfishers flash like sparks over the water and where she has fallen asleep to stories of Bonbibi, the guardian of the forest. Out in the deep jungle, tigers still prowl.
