Peppe the Lamplighter로 Caldecott상을 수상한 Ted Lewin의 사실적이면서도 정감넘치는 수채화 그림이 돋보이는 작품입니다. 어린 아메드는 가족의 생계를 돕기 위해 무거운 부탄 가스통을 배달하는 일을 합니다. 노새가 끄는 마차에 부탄가스통을 가득 싣고 사람들로 북적이는 카이로의 좁은 길거리를 헤쳐 가며 커다란 부탄통을 어깨에 메고 집집마다 배달하는 일은 어린 아메드에게는 힘든 일이지만, 아메드의 마음 속에는 한 가지 비밀이 있습니다. 너무나도 특별하고 신나는 비밀을 아메드는 일을 마치고 집에 돌아오자마자 가족들에게 보여줍니다...

Book description
As Ahmed delivers bottles of propane gas, he treasures a special secret he can't wait to share with his family. "Skillfully, the authors use the secret to sustain suspense...and to highlight the significance of Ahmed's poignant joy in his accomplishment....A handsome, affectionate book." Kirkus Reviews.
Publisher's Weekly
In this admirable introduction to life in an alien culture, readers are whisked to the busy streets of Cairo--where young Ahmed is making his daily rounds on a donkey cart, delivering large canisters of butane gas. The city is presented through his eyes, and text and illustration work together in harmony to produce a sense of place so vivid that readers can almost hear the cry of vendors in the crowded marketplace and feel the heat rising from the streets. On this particular day, Ahmed carries a secret with him (he has learned to write his name in Arabic), one children will enjoy trying to guess. The authors have produced fluid prose, and Lewin's sensitive, luminous watercolors hint at the mystery and timelessness of this exotic city.
School Library Journal
Ahmed has monumental news to share with his family, but first he must complete the age-old duties of a butagaz boy, delivering cooking gas to customers all over Cairo. The juxtaposition of old and new is a repeated theme in Heide and Gilliland's thoughtful story of a young boy living in the bustling metropolis surrounded by thousand-year-old walls and buildings. His philosophical musings as he steers his donkey cart on his appointed rounds could be those of any youngster, living in any age, waiting for the appropriate moment to share his special secret. Enhanced by Lewin's distinguished photorealistic watercolors, the sights, sounds, and smells of the exotic setting come to life. Sweeping double-page spreads reveal the sun-bleached streets, pedestrians bearing all manner of bundles, and colorful market stalls. At home at last, surrounded by his loving family, Ahmed demonstrates his newly acquired facility, proudly writing his name in Arabic. Life goes on in the hectic, noisy cities of the world regardless of a day's news and yet, the boundless energy and promise of youth reinforce the ideal that anything is possible. Ahmed's story is a joyful celebration of that spirit.
