THE BUTTER MAN
Elizabeth Alalou and Ali Alalou, illustrated by Julie Klear Eskalli
As young Nora waits impatiently for her mother to come home from work and for her father to serve the long-simmering couscous that smells so delicious, her father tells her about his childhood in Morocco. During a famine, when Nora's grandfather had to travel far to find work and bring food for the family, her father learned the valuable life lessons of patience, perseverance, and hope.
The Butter Man is a Junior Library Guild selection.
