The Runaway Wok

Written by Ying Chang Compestine and Illustrated by Sebastia Serra
When a boy goes to the market to buy food and comes home with an old wok instead, his parents wonder what they'll eat for dinner. But then the wok rolls out of the poor family's house with a skippity-hoppity-ho! and returns from the rich man's home with a feast in tow! This story reminds readers about the importance of generosity.
