Book Description From the Front Cover Flap
I am Doko, a simple basket. It is not only grain from the field that I
carry. I have carried my master's child, and wood for our fire. I was
there when the child became a man and married. I very nearly carried
the grandfather away forever. Luckily, someone in my family found the
right words so that I could carry him home again.
Description
Based upon a traditional Nepalese fairy tale, this story emphasizes
the point that every generation owes a duty of care to the elderly
because one day, if they are lucky, they too will be elderly and will
depend on the care of others. This is an excellent book for
intergenerational lessons and discussions through the simple text and
attractive illustrations.
