A Gift of Dust reveals the hidden wonders of how Saharan Dust impacts the world.  This dust begins in Chad, West Africa, but winds carry it across the continent, and over the Atlantic ocean.  The dust nourishes the Amazon rain forest and the ocean. 

Brockenbrough creates a simple, intriguing, and informative  tale of nourishing dust for young readers.  Marinez-Neal's illustrations expansively and vividly bring this natural wonder to life.
