Selam works hard from sunrise to dusk — but on the morning of the village's biggest celebration, her stepmother says she must stay home while her stepsisters go enjoy the festivities.
Alone by the fire, Selam meets a kind old woman named Mama Letay, who gives her a shimmering scarf and a warm jebena of coffee. At the celebration, Selam pours coffee the traditional way and meets a boy named Dawit — but when her scarf slips away into the night, will kindness find its way home?
A gentle, Eritrean-culture inspired tale, celebrating hospitality, the coffee ceremony, and the quiet strength of a good heart. Warm watercolor illustrations bring an East African village to life for young readers.
Perfect for: story time, bedtime reading, multicultural classroom libraries, and any child who loves a kind-hearted twist on a classic tale.
