My first book that depicted a non-white/ non-European protagonist. Takes us back to the frustration and wonder children feel.

This book tells a traditional carribean tale of a boy who loves yams, but when things keep going wrong he doesn't think he'll ever get his yam back. When I first read this I didn't exactly understand it, but after doing some research on it, I discvoered some things this book could be used for- culture, foods, and gifts that are important in your culture and what happens if you lose them. This book will probably be a little different than what students are used to, but ti can lead into some great questions.

I like the cultural aspect of this story but I won't read it to my kid as I don't want the modeling of a demanding, angry-faced kid.
