Don't Spill the Milk!

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Corr. After Penda's mother entrusts her to carry a bowl of milk on her head to her father, who is tending sheep in the grasslands, she's determined not to spill a drop. Penda's self-directed pep talks ("Don't shiver, don't quiver, / don't fall in the river, girl") are charming, and the mural-like art set along the banks of the Niger River is beguiling.
