Today is market day! At dawn, the whole family sets off for the big city. It's a long and perilous journey to get there, and the little ones sometimes find themselves in difficulty. Fortunately, everyone helps each other out, and when they get there, the whole family gets down to work. Once everything has been sold, it's time to set off again!
The family is at the very heart of this story, proving that everyone can help, no matter how big or small they are. With charm and simplicity, this album tackles the concepts of mutual aid and intergenerational sharing. The illustrations, set in a colourful, contemporary African landscape, are just as warm as in the previous albums by this author duo.
