Product Description
Bernardi lives with his grandfather, Babu, who supports them by making toys. Bernardi wishes he could go to school, but they can't afford it. When a tourist offers a handsome price for the music box Babu gave him as a present, Bernardi regretfully sells it, giving the money to Babu. Babu uses the money to pay for his grandson's school, and he starts working on a new music box. The book's sensitive text and endearing illustrations capture the tender relationship between a child and his grandfather. Stephanie Stuve-Bodsen is an award-winning author.

nice story, accurate depiction of life in Tanzania November 19, 2007
I lived in Tanzania for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer. Now that I have children I want to read stories to them about life there. This is the best children's story I have found that accurately depicts life in Tanzania and also tells an engaging story.
Beautifully Illustrated, Sweet Story July 7, 2004
This moving story is enhanced by the beautiful illustrations. My five year-old daughter and I both enjoyed this book very much.
