Sojourn in Africa (Travels with Aunt Laura, Book One) by Elizabeth Wagler (2003-05-03)

Kathryn was sure she wouldn't be homesick while staying with Aunt Laura's family all summer while her folks were in India. Her cousins had promised Aunt Laura would tell stories to help pass the time, stories of foreign countries she had visited, even some in Africa. Pictures of lions and zebras, mountains and deserts, ancient cities and pyramids, and black Africans and white-robed Arabs flashed across her mind. This might be an interesting summer even if she couldn't go to India. It was.
