Saruni is a hard working boy with a big dream: He wants to buy a bicycle of his very own. For many months, Saruni works in the market to earn money, saving all of his coins in a special box. 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! Through beautiful watercolor illustrations and masterful storytelling, readers will be transported to a village in Tanzania. Your child will be excited to dive into these pages, which create a feeling of warmth between the boy and his family. Saruni’s patience and determination is an inspiration to any child that is working hard to accomplish a goal.Tololwa M. Mollel
