When Mali and her family travel from KIJIJI Atlanta to Yellowstone National Park, the land itself begins to speak.

Geysers breathe ancient wisdom. Bison guard the earth. Snow falls in spring. Rivers boil, colors bloom, and a sleeping volcano hums beneath their feet.

Joined by her best friend Zuri, Mali explores one of the world’s most extraordinary natural landscapes—learning about Indigenous nations, the Black Buffalo Soldiers who helped protect the park, and the deep connection between African knowledge systems and the living earth.

Mali & Her KIJIJI: Our Family Trip to Yellowstone is a poetic, visually rich children’s book that invites young readers to see nature as sacred, history as shared, and themselves as rightful explorers of the world.

This fourth installment in the beloved Mali & Her KIJIJI series celebrates Black children in national parks, African memory in global landscapes, and the joy of family adventure—reminding readers that Black children belong everywhere nature sings.

Perfect for families, classrooms, and holiday gifting, this book blends storytelling, cultural history, science, and imagination into a timeless journey of belonging.
