Jojo’s Wire Car [PDF ebook] 

Beautifully illustrated and with a heart-warming story, this African-flavour book will appeal to a wide range of children. Jojo lives with his old granny in a shack. He has to help out with many chores after school, including selling fruit at the roadside to help make ends meet. A wire-toy-making competition offers him the chance of winning a big prize … but his packed schedule means he has less time than his friends to look for wire and other scraps. With its colourful, evocative drawings, this book will have young readers sharing in Jojo’s plight — and rejoicing in the happy ending.
