A celebration of bicycles, cooperation, and the resourcefulness of
children everywhere In a Tanzanian village school, Anna struggles
to keep up. Her walk home takes so long that when she arrives, it
is too dark to do her homework. Working through the lunch hour
instead, she doesn't see the truck from the bicycle library pull
into the schoolyard. By the time she gets out there, the bikes are
all gone. Anna hides her disappointment, happy to help her friends
learn to balance and steer. She doesn't know a compassionate friend
will offer her a clever solution-and the chance to raise her own
cloud of dust. Brought to life by Brian Deines' vivid oil
paintings, Alma Fullerton's simple, expressive prose captures the
joy of feeling the wind on your face for the first time. Inspired
by organizations like The Village Bicycle Project that have opened
bicycle libraries all across Africa, In a Cloud of Dust is an
uplifting example of how a simple opportunity can make a dramatic
change in a child's life. "Soaked in warm golds and oranges,
Deines's oil paintings glow with a sense of promise as the children
race around the schoolyard on their bikes. Fullerton says quite a
bit with few words in her verselike prose, and a detailed author's
note discusses the vital role bicycles play in communities across
Africa and supplies information about bicycle donation
organizations."-Publishers Weekly
