Summary: In a Mali village, eight-year-old Yatandou dreams of playing with her goat, but instead, she joins the women in pounding millet for hours. They yearn for a machine to ease their burden, but it requires money they don't have. Yatandou faces a tough choice: part with something precious to help raise funds. Will her sacrifice lead to a brighter future for her community? This poignant tale of hope and determination unfolds through Yatandou's eyes, capturing the spirit of a village striving for change.
