The Day of Ahmed's Secret |
| Florence Parry Heide, Judith Heide Gilliland and Ted Lewin |
| Mulberry, 1990, paperback, 30 pp. |
| This book 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. Traveling throughout the city on his cart making deliveries, he meets other vendors and friends on his way. Home at last, 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. |
