Representation: Ethiopian Black main character
Trigger warnings: Adoption
Score: Six points out of ten.

Not the white saviours! Why did the white people have to save the Black person and why did her biological mother give her up for adoption? So problematic. Also why did Alemitu's name change to Eva and then she forgets her biological mother, her former name was perfectly fine. It rubs me the wrong way when a white person writes a book with a Black character, and as with other books like this, it would've been better if a person who lived a similar experience to Alemitu told the story rather than someone who never did.… (plus d'informations)

Delightful! Shades of message in a bottle, the Purple Pail sails around the world as if it has a hand in its destinations. Each child was using the Pail in their own country when it rolled out to sea only to join the next child. Some of the places it visits are Ireland, Maine, Central and South America, Malaysia, and New Zealand. At the end is a map to follow. Niki Leonidou is the fantastic illustrator who brings color and more to the simple drawings. This is a great book to read with someone else, especially ESL.
I requested and received a free temporary e-book copy from Clavis Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you!

The lack of access to clean water is the dilemma that determines the future of a young Ethiopian girl as she travels from village, to orphanage, to the United States where she becomes part of a multiracial family. Author’s Note.

A very sweet and touching story. I love the pictures to go along with the story. The story opened my eyes to a world I am not too familiar with. Although I cant personally relate to the story, after reading this story I feel as if I have a snapshot of what it looks like to go through a life like the one Eva goes through. And thats all thanks to the format of the text and the pictures.
