Muneca de Elizabeti

As she watches her mother care for her new baby brother, Elizabeti decides that she needs a doll to look after. Since she doesn't have a traditional doll, she picks up a nice, smooth stone, names it Eva, and takes good care of it. The Tanzanian way of life is beautifully depicted in the softly shaded illustrations, in which bright African cloths contrast with the earth tones of the village scenes.
