What-If Sara

This book captures the imagination of a young girl, who appearsto her parents to be totally preoccupied with "what-ifs".Interwoven between the wanderings of Sara's imagination she comes to the aid of her immigrant father by writing bills, making deliveries and punching down rising bread dough.
