Awero’s class is growing vegetables for School Market Day. But Awero sees a problem. 

Early in the morning in Inísà, Awero stops to watch ants carrying leaves. At school the pupils are growing tomatoes and eggplants. Bayo digs. Musa waters. Folake’s hands are muddy. The stems are crowded, the path has disappeared, and the children are treading on the seedlings. Awero’s father is a farmer. She knows what to do.
