About this listen

Selam’s mother mends clothes for a living, treasuring a bag of colorful buttons. Though they can’t afford new clothes, Selam discovers the magic of creativity and perseverance—using extra buttons to decorate old garments and craft tiny accessories to sell. As her beautiful designs attract attention, their humble stand becomes a symbol of hope and determination.

A touching story about resilience, ingenuity, and the power of small acts, The Bag of Buttons teaches children about perseverance, creativity, and the importance of resourcefulness.
