This delightful book, written by Pittsburgh local and avid HAS supporter, Karen Lynn Williams, and illustrated by Catherine Stock, will make a charming addition to the library of a special child in your life.
From the book jacket: "As Sasifi walks along to the market with her mother, a brightly painted truck passes them on the road. The passengers hit the side of the truck, tap-tap!, to let the driver know where to stop.
Sasifi wants to ride to market in a tap-tap, but Mama says they don't have the money. Perhaps you are not yet old enough to help me on market day, she tells Sasfi. Determined to be a good helper, Sasifi earns herself a wonderful surprise.
This satisfying story of a memorable market day, accompanied by vivid watercolor paintings is filled with the bustle and color of Haitian village life."
