Illustrated by
E. B. Lewis.
African American Lily's older sister wins a college scholarship, but the family needs to come up with three thousand dollars for room and board. Everyone pitches in to raise money, and Lily wonders how she can help. After several tries, she finds a (convenient) solution and the story ends abruptly. Warm illustrations depict the rural environment and reflect the family's affection.
