Simple story about finding eggs

Our protagonist is determined to find out where Kele is hiding her eggs, so he can sell them with his grandmother and get his reward. So he persistently tracks her all day, then steels himself to enter the "creepy" shed and get the eggs out - two great character traits to encourage. The artwork is beautiful, and I love the clear descriptive language. Babywearers, note that the market scene shows two woman carrying their babies in kangas.
