An excellent read-aloud, song and discussion starter! My music studentsin Minnesota loved how Joseph wrote a song from his own life experiences. They enjoyed discovering things they have in common with children on the other side of the world. LeAnn Mansour, Music Teacher We really like this book because it is all about recycling! Koraeny and Chelema Mwanga, 10 yr old As a professional tailor in Uganda, I love the values in this story. We tailors solve these dilemas everyday. The empowerment Grandfather gave to Joseph with each item is priceless. Naigwe Fiona Kyama, Fashion Designer
