I Lost My Tooth in Africa

Amina has a loose tooth! She hopes it will come out while she and her family visit Grandma N'na in Mali. That way, she can put it under a gourd, and the African Tooth Fairy will exchange it for a chicken. From the family's arrival at the compound where all the aunts, uncles, and cousins live together with N'na until she falls asleep in her bamboo bed, Amina wiggles her tooth. Finally, it comes out, but now she has to wait all over again! Full-color art. Author's and artist's notes.
