The pencil

"Susan loves watching her Anaana write letters to people in other camps. Anaana has one precious pencil, and she keeps it safe in her box for special things. One afternoon, Anaana leaves the iglu to help a neighbour, and Susan and her siblings are left with their Ataata. They play all their regular games but soon run out of things to do-until Ataata brings out the pencil! As Susan draws and draws, the pencil grows shorter and shorter. What will Anaana think when she comes home?"--Back of cover.
