This story parallels the lives of a boy in the USA with a boy in Africa. In the story, both boys do the same things: help at home, go to school, go shopping with their families, play with friend, and other activities of daily life. The illustrations do a wonderful job of showing the differences in the cultures!
If you have a young child and want to help your child see the differences and similarities between their lives and a child in Africa, I would encourage you to read this book. I also think older children would enjoy it as it could be a great springboard into further research about the Ugandan culture.
