This story presents life for a child named Yoanes who is living in Tanzania, Africa and who has a task set by his mother to find out where their chicken is laying its eggs. Yoanes must explore many scary areas while following the chicken around the jungle. He finally discovers the eggs and him and his mother take them to a market and sell them. This book is an interesting illustration of life in a far away country. (Tanzania).

The book is diverse and uses a setting that some children may not know about, so it is a good teaching point for the teacher.

This book is about a young boy named Saruni who wants to save up his money for a bike. This book takes place in Tanzania. In the book it shows how his savings are growing, and how he organizes the coins into rows and piles. I think this book is great for students because it teaches them the value of money and working hard for the things you want in life.
