(3) K-3 Illustrated by E. B. Lewis. In this charming African story, Saruni saves money so he can buy a bicycle to help his mother carry vegetables and firewood to sell. When his father gives him a bicycle, he puts the money toward a cart to help his mother. Mollel's story and Lewis's watercolor paintings show Tanzanian customs, landscapes, clothing, and body language with wonderfully accurate detail.
