The story

One night in the Kenyan grasslands, Jackie Leeds and her family's native friend and servant, Tembo Murumbi, chase a young galago about its preferred habitat, a baobab tree. Tembo catches the small animal and offers it to Jackie as a gift; she names the small bushbaby Komba. A year or so passes since this first encounter, and one day at church, Komba's playfulness causes commotion, disrupting the daily hymn.
