(2) 1-3 Illustrated by Warwick Johnson Cadwell. Oluwalase Babatunde Benson, called No. 1, sits with his grandfather calling out the makes and models of passing cars. No. 1 faces challenges of life in a modern-day African village where the men have left to seek work in the city. Atinuke's story has humor while introducing serious topics. Energetic black-and-white illustrations, with frequent perspective changes, add movement.
