In a Tanzanian village school, Anna struggles to keep up. Her walk home takes so long that when she arrives, it is too dark to do her homework. Working through the lunch hour instead, she doesn’t see the truck from the bicycle library pull into the school yard. By the time she gets out there, the bikes are all gone. Anna hides her disappointment, happy to help her friends to balance and steer. She doesn’t know that a compassionate friend will offer her a clever solution–and the chance to raise her own dust. Told with lyric simplicity, In a Cloud of Dust shows how a single idea can impact so many children hoping for a better life.
