To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The First Day She Worked Alongside Adults — The bellows handle is slick with someone else's sweat when Aminata grasps it — her grandfather's sweat perhaps, or her father's from the previous evening. She has worked the bellows hundreds of times. But this morning Master Koné and his two journeymen fill the workshop, and the familiar wooden grip feels different in her hand. The ironsmith teaches his son with the iron itself. Today Aminata is no longer a child watching.
