Have you ever get treated the way you don't want others treat you? Well, if you haven't, you have to read this book.It is about a little boy who is a dreamer and his name is Alemayu. He walked and traveled mountains to look for his sister. His sister works for a rich man who is bossy and impatient. When he found his sister, Alemayu began to work for the rich man too. He was treated unfairly.The rich man and Alemayu had a deal.It is a deal that could change his life. Read this book and find out how Alemayu fulfilled his dreams.
I love this book because it teaches me moral lessons. This books tells me to treat people the way you want to be treated. It also reminds me to always keep a promise. Another moral is to be wise and stick up for your self. Don't ever let anyone boss you around. This book reminds me of Eve Bunting's book, " The Day When the Whale Came." The main characters in both books are strong and have good fighting spirit. I like the illustrations because it tells more of the story. It helps me understand the text more.
I recommend this book to anyone . If you treat people the way you want to be treated, you will have a lot of friends. If you stick up for yourself, people cannot boss you around. Believe in yourself and your dreams will come true. This book is perfect for you!
