From a critically acclaimed illustrator, the story of one boy on a journey to deliver salt across the desert to those who need it most.
In the Sahara, salt is worth its weight in gold. When a young boy is finally old enough to join his father's caravan transporting salt across the trade route to Timbuktu, he can't wait to prove himself worthy of this big responsibility.
Over the long and difficult journey, the boy will discover that salt does far more than just preserve and flavor food. With its essential roles in trade, ritual, civilizations, and even our own bodies, salt sustains life. Most important of all, the boy discovers his own self-confidence as he grows from a novice to a future leader of his salt caravan.
This gorgeous, awe-inspiring picture book from critically-acclaimed artist Elizabeth Zunon celebrates the remarkable journey that salt takes, the connections it forges, and its power to nourish us.
