This book is about a young girl who is an amputee and has the added factor of needing a prosthetic, or what she calls her "helper leg". As a young girl going to school in Afghanistan, she realizes that she requires a bench to sit at during classes, which is what prompts her to build it herself. I would recommend this book to kinder-2nd or third grade students. This book would be most appropriate for that age group because I feel that those are the ages where this book can be most understood and appreciated. Within that, kindergarten students may not fully comprehend the significance of the book, but they can appreciate the amount of color that is used.
Rahman once again takes us to his homeland of Afghanistan, where we first visited in The Library Bus, this time telling us the story of a girl who has a peculiar and different school experience than most. Through gentle and age-appropriate language, Rahman introduces readers to a discussion of landmines and the impact they have on people around the world. Prix et récompensesListes notables
"Young Aria returns to school after recovering from an accident and being fitted with a prosthetic leg, but the school has no furniture and sitting on the floor is too painful. She finds a way to build her own bench, surprising and inspiring her classmates. A sensitive author's note addresses the author's experience growing up in Afghanistan during the civil war and the legacy of landmines."-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I thought the voice of Aria was authentic and the book is a thoughtful introduction to the ramifications of the war in Afghanistan and the impacts on children. Illustrations are colorful and vibrant. ( )
