Stanley, Sanna

Young Luzolo tries very hard to sit still while her father preaches at the village Matondo, a celebration of thanksgiving, but when a puppy, chickens, pigs, goats, and a monkey show up, it is very difficult.

As Aimee, the daughter of a missionary in Zaire, gathers her friends for a party, the sky grows more and more threatening.

When Luzolo goes to market with her parents, she learns that it takes a great deal of bartering to finally get what she wants.
