Danson Mutinda's parents, Ruth and Henry Kyatha, co-founded the Hope Development Centre orphanage with Eric and Anita Walters in 2007. When Henry passed away, Dansen became patron of the program. He and his co-author, Eric Walters, worked together to write this story of two energetic and joyful children who are based on many of the children they work with at the centre. Danson lives in Kikima, Kenya, on the grounds of the orphanage.

"I quite enjoyed this book about Kitoo and his friend best Nigosi. The pair have a great friendship, encouraging each other to be the best, while embracing their differences and their similarities."-- "Book Time blog"
"Offers a good starting point for children in learning about and discussing different cultures. Playful black and white, full and half-page illustrations provide moments to stop and reflect upon the boys' life, friendship and adventures. Recommended."-- "CM: Canadian Review of Materials"
"Uplifting and welcome. The book allows young readers to learn about life in an orphanage in rural Kenya."-- "Sal's Fiction Addiction"
