(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ann Tanksley. After Kedi, a young girl in Cameroon, hears from her teacher about the Great Depression, "her heart would not sit down." Determined to help, she devises a way to aid the people of her teacher's "village"--New York City. This lushly illustrated story (based on a real incident) will resonate with children through its hopeful message that even a small contribution can make a world of difference.
