Kofi is worried that he might forget Grandmother and his cousins now that he's moved from Ghana to America. His big sister Abena says, "Don?t worry. I'll help us remember." She tells one story about Anansi the trickster and one story about a vulture and turtle to help them remember their forever home in Ghana and ease their worries about their new home in America. Kurtz skillfully weaves the traditional African folktales into a lovely story of family and immigration.
