What is Tafiti: Across the Desert about?

Tafiti is a young meerkat living in the sun-scorched African savanna who prefers to do everything on his own. When Bristles, an enthusiastic bush pig, tries to tag along, Tafiti wants nothing to do with him. Everything changes when Tafiti's grandfather falls gravely ill after a snake bite, and the only cure is a rare desert flower that blooms far beyond the safety of their home territory. Tafiti must cross dangerous, unfamiliar terrain to find it. Bristles, convinced that every adventure is better shared, refuses to be left behind. What begins as reluctant company slowly grows into something neither of them expected — a friendship that may prove as vital as the flower itself.
