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.

As ever, Ed Young has taken a simple fable and made it into a masterpiece of stunning illustration and expert storytelling. This beautiful and unique book celebrates the generations with great originality.

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.
