Summary:This is the story of a young girl in an African village who is helping her mother by finding dark and light reeds for a basket. She finds the light-colored reeds easily and by listening to the sounds of the earth, she finds the dark-colored reeds.

Response: I liked this book because of the mother’s attitude. She recognize that a child’s assets should be utilized instead of suppressed.
