I Need a Lunch Box
As a boy watches his sister Doris get a brand new lunch box, he thinks about all he could do if he had one, too. Cummings transforms an ordinary experience into a successful portrait of an African American family and one child's strongly felt wish. ©1988 Cooperative Children's Book Center
