Publisher's Synopsis
It's Saturday, and Jo has some money to spend. So she and her mom go shopping, while Dad stays at home to make lunch. But what should she spend her money on? The cookies and cakes at Mrs Tomaselli's bakery look delicious but so do the rosy red apples at the fruit stand. Jo can't decide -- she'll have to wait and see.
In the end, Jo finds a surprising and generous way to use her money which brings some unexpected rewards and the tale closes with an entertaining and ingenious twist. This is a beautifully told and sympathetic story set in the context of an interracial family and accompanied by Eileen Browne's bright, realistic illustrations that capture the happy bustle of a shopping expedition.
