My Rows and Piles of Coins - Hardcover

Clarion Books Graphic Novel Traditional

Synopsis

I emptied my secret money box, arranged the coins in piles and the piles in rows . . . The market is full of wonderful things, but Saruni is saving his precious coins for a red and blue bicycle. How happy he will be when he can help his mother carry heavy loads to market on his very own bicycle--and how disappointed he is to discover that he hasn't saved nearly enough! Determination and generosity are at the heart of this satisfying tale, set in Tanzania and illustrated with glowing watercolors that capture the warmth of Saruni's family and the excitement of market day.
