Based on a true family story. When Amina visits her family in Mali, she loses her tooth, places it under a calabash and receives, in accordance with Mali custom, a chicken and a rooster. The child's excitement and anticipation are very real and the vivid ceramic tile illustration give a feeling and visual picture of Mali.
