Little Kessy gets the important task of running to the island's tiny store for more laundry soap--"the biggest piece." On the way home his soap keeps coming in handy to help people, and he turns his mundane errand into a story of adventure. The book is set in the Truk Islands of Micronesia: the pictures feature lush tropical colors.
