Langutani lives in a rural part of South Africa, where he helps his father on their family farm. But trouble is afoot—baboons keep sneaking in and eating their crops! Despite trying many things like chasing them off and putting up barbed wire, the baboons are unafraid and keep coming back. Langutani and his father are at their wits’ end, until Langutani comes up with a clever and funny solution that finally works! This story shows that children can be problem-solvers too—and that innovation can come from any corner of the world, even a small village farm.
