On a careful week when the market has been slow, Afua brings a small lunch to school. At the long table in the lunch hall she notices a new girl, Akosua, with an open and empty lunchbox, sitting very still. What Afua does next, quietly and without ceremony, sets in motion a lesson her grandmother will teach her that evening in the kitchen. A tender city story about generosity, the purpose of a bowl, and what it means to give from what is not quite enough. For ages 4 to 8.
