Kombamwiko's Adventure by Emmanuel Kariuki

Kombamwiko's Adventure is a charming and insightful tale centered on two cockroach friends who decide to embark on a perilous journey from their quiet village to the bustling city.

Kombamwiko the Cockroach initially enjoys his simple life in the village. However, his friend, Faragano, who is widely traveled and fed up with rural life, decides to move to the Town permanently. Faragano tempts Kombamwiko with stories of the "easy life" in the city and convinces him to join.

The journey to the Town is a dangerous undertaking for Kombamwiko. Faragano, who has faced these dangers before, acts as his protector, urging him along until, against all odds, they finally reach the city. Once there, Kombamwiko quickly discovers that the "easy life" is not what he imagined; he finds no fun in the Town. In the end, he makes the crucial decision to return to the Bush (the village).
