PreS-Gr 2–Penda's father is in the grasslands tending the sheep, and the child is taking him a bowl of milk for his lunch. Carefully she carries it on her head past a herd of giraffes, a lively rainy-season mask dance, and over the River Niger via fishing boat, without spilling a drop. When she finds her father sitting under a mango tree, a ripe fruit falls into the bowl and the milk splashes out. Penda is sad, but her father convinces her that all is well–“This bowl was full of love, girl, and it still is”–and they then share the fruit for lunch. This family story shines due to Corr's brightly painted folk-art illustrations. The village in Niger, the villagers, and Penda's journey are patterned with blocks of thick color, stripes, dots, swirls, and the feel of African sunshine. A warm, reassuring tale for storytimes and units on family.–Angela J. Reynolds, Annapolis Valley Regional Library, Bridgetown, NS, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2013.
