Bookroo's summary
Lily's sister, Eubie, wins a college scholarship, but the family must raise the rest of the funds. Too young for most jobs, Lily is determined to contribute. Can she find a way to help her sister achieve her dreams? This touching tale explores the power of family unity and the lengths one will go to support loved ones.
From the publisher
Lily knows that nothing is more important than family. She’s so proud when her sister, Eubie, wins a college scholarship. And when her family pulls together to earn the rest of the money Eubie needs, Lily wants to help out too. But she’s too young to do most jobs. What can she do to pitch in for Eubie?
Through her lyrical prose, Jerdine Nolen shares a heartfelt story about people working together to make dreams come true. And as Caldecott Honor artist E. B. Lewis reminds us in his luminous, tender paintings, nothing is more important than those family ties that bind us.
