"When Joseph and Mama lived in the refugee camp in East Africa, everyone cooked and ate together. In their new home, it's much too quiet. Joseph invites his relatives, his neighbors and even his teacher for dinner, but everyone is too busy to come. Ever hopeful, Joseph picks greens from the garden, just in case. If and when anyone comes, 'Aii yee,' there will be a feast!" -- Publisher's description.
