In the culture of Mr. Jue's boyhood, the bamboo is a pervasive symbol, a gift from nature of grace and beauty– and, to the eminently practical Chinese, a uniquely useful item. He proceeded to rescue the bamboo from the indignity of the bulldozer and the waste of the trash heap. What more natural than that the feel of the bamboo in his hands should recall pleasant memories from his boyhood-and that kite-making should be one of them? Mr. Jue had found a new and consuming interest in life. He began making kites as he remembered them of old, eventually inventing new designs and adapting the old techniques to the materials at hand in his community. A soaring kite, beautifully formed and painted, with colorful streaming tails, is a striking sight in this increasingly mechanical and prosaic age.

Hundreds of inquiries came by mail and telephone.

When his mother receives a loan from some village families, she gives a little money to her son. With this tiny loan, Kojo buys a hen.\u003cbr\u003eA year later, Kojo has built up a flock of 25 hens. With his earnings Kojo is able to return to school. Soon Kojo’s farm grows to become the largest in the region.\u003cbr\u003eKojo’s story is inspired by the life of Kwabena Darko, who as a boy started a tiny poultry farm just like Kojo’s, which later grew to be the largest in Ghana, and one of the largest in west Africa. Kwabena also started a trust that gives out small loans to people who cannot get a loan from a bank.\u003cbr\u003eOne Hen shows what happens when a little help makes a big difference. The final pages of One Hen explain the microloan system and include a list of relevant organizations for children to explore.\u003cbr\u003eOne Hen is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.","brand":"Polka Dot Door Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51728882467130,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0937\/8699\/7050\/files\/20250712_1395_copy.jpg?v=1755106492"},{"product_id":"who-said-theres-no-man-on-the-moon-a-story-of-jules-verne","title":"Who Said There's No Man on the Moon?
