Publisher's Synopsis

Bernadi loves to play football and would love to go to school too, but he and his grandfather, Babu, cannot afford to pay for schooling. Babu makes toys and Bernadi sells them at the market. Together they make enough money to get by. One night, Babu gives Bernadi a special gift - a handmade music box that plays a song Babu used to sing when he still had his voice. At the market the next Saturday, a tourist offers Bernadi so much money for the box, he cannot resist. When he returns home his difficult dilemma is resolved in a surprising turn of events. Set in Tanzania.
