"I, Doko: The Tale of a Basket" by Ed Young tells the story of a humble basket named Doko, who dreams of becoming more than just an object. As Doko journeys through various experiences and encounters, he learns about love, friendship, and the importance of connection. The story beautifully intertwines elements of cultural tradition with themes of purpose and identity, highlighting how even the simplest objects can possess deep significance and history. Through rich illustrations and lyrical prose, Young captivates readers with Doko's adventures, offering insights into the value of community and the stories we all carry with us.
