The Day of Ahmed’s Secret |
| Florence Parry Heide, Judith Heide Gilliland and Ted Lewin |
| Mulberry, 1990, paperback, 30 pp. |
| Follows a day in the life of Ahmed, a young boy delivering cooking gas after school in Cairo. Unlike other days, though, this day is special: he has a secret to share with his family, but must finish his work first. On his cart making deliveries, he travels throughout the city, meeting other vendors--friends--as he goes. At long last home, he can reveal his secret, one which makes him think that his name might last, like the city itself, for a thousand years. Elementary level. |
