{"product_id":"the-herd-boy","title":"The Herd Boy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Pweew! Pweew!\" Malusis shrill whistling drives the sheep out of grandfathers kraal. By the time they reach the grazing slopes  the earth is hot beneath his bare feet. He keeps the sheep and goats from straying towards the deep donga  which is easy to fall into but hard to climb out of. You have to be awake  and you have to be brave  to be a herd boy.  Malusi is a herd boy. It is a big job for a small boy  yet he does it well  no matter the danger. But he also dreams of being more than a herd boy someday: Malusi wants to be president. This simple but poignant story explores the idea that many great leaders have come from humble beginnings. Perhaps what gives someone the strength and integrity to lead well isnt so different from what it takes to be a good herd boy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44965988171829,"sku":"ByrdShop_0802854176","price":30.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802854179.jpg?v=1770551740","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-herd-boy","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
