Review
"Well-paced, the story incorporates the Kwanzaa values without spelling them out too much. Minter's attractively composed, dramatic painted woodcuts, with strong community images and lively, silhouetted figures, root the story in a sun-drenched, magical landscape that will draw children even after repeated readings."
"A fine choice for a Kwanzaa gift, and a first choice for most school and public-library collections."
Kirkus Reviews
"Well-paced, the story incorporates the Kwanzaa values without spelling them out too much."
Booklist
From the Inside Flap
In an African village live seven brothers who make life miserable with their constant fighting. When their father dies, he leaves an unusual will: by sundown, the brothers must make gold out of seven spools of thread or they will be turned out as beggars.
