Mansa.

Tote bag

An elephant tote bag for carrying the day: books, groceries, whatever comes up. On the front is Mansa, a calf facing forward in a pink sweater, from my Animal Kinhood series, who keeps a gray stone in her pocket like it's a treasure.

The real species

African bush elephant.

Loxodonta africana

The stones remember paths you forget to learn.

Savannas, scrubland and open woodland of sub-Saharan Africa, from the Serengeti and Kenya to the Okavango Delta (Botswana), which holds the world's largest concentration of the species. It adapts to very different ecosystems: the arid grasslands of the Kalahari, riverbanks, the edges of gallery forest.

A Stone That Fits in a Pocket

Of the three river stones Mansa keeps on her windowsill, there's one she sometimes takes from home: the gray one with white veins, the smallest, her favorite. She slips it into her pocket before an exam or an odd day, and back home she returns it to its exact spot. It's her portable anchor, what she takes with her when she leaves the safe place. When something scares her, she reaches into her pocket to find it. A bag understands that gesture well: you carry what matters and keep going, hands free.

A Bag for the Whole Day

Mansa is in Standard 3 and goes back and forth from school loaded with the day's things. The bag inherits that back-and-forth: for the market, errands, class, or whatever comes up. If you're going to carry it over your shoulder, it might as well carry a calm elephant on the front, the kind that carries just what she needs and never gets rattled. I create it, Yago Partal, within Animal Kinhood; the measurements and capacity are on the product page, and who Mansa is, in her biography.
