Nora can't wait to eat. Every Saturday, when her baba cooks delicious couscous for their family, Nora has to save her appetite until mama comes home. "But I'm staaarving!" Nora says one day. Then Baba tells her the story of the butter man. When Baba was a child in Morocco and his family had only a little bread to eat, his mother would send him outside to wait for the butter man to pass by, in hopes that he would share just a little fresh, sweet butter. . . . Author's note. Glossary. Full-color gouache illustrations.
