"I'm so hungry, I could eat anything. Anything at all."
In a drought-stricken corner of rural China, an education can be
the difference between a life of crushing poverty and the chance
for a better future. But for Ma Yan, money is scarce, and the low
wages paid for backbreaking work aren't always enough to pay school
fees . . . or even to provide enough food for herself and her
family.
Ma Yan's heart-wrenching, honest diary chronicles her struggle
to escape hardship through her persistent, sometimes desperate,
attempts to continue her schooling. Its publication was an
international sensation, creating an outpouring of support for this
courageous teenager and others like her . . . all due to one
ordinary girl's extraordinary diary.
Book lives at the library and desperately wants to go outside like
the other books, but is intimidated by all the things that might
happen 'out there'. A page might get torn. Book's cover might get
dirty. Book might never be returned to the library! Meanwhile,
little Emma loves visiting the library and delights in the many
adventures to be had in the stories she finds there. When Emma
meets Book, they find they are just what each other needs.
Together, Book and Emma move out of their comfort zone to try new
things, meet new people, and enjoy a fair few adventures - climbing
trees, laughing in the rain, and even cheering along at a football
match! On their adventures, Book and Emma discover that 'out there'
needn't be scary if you just take it one step at a time. A
beautifully illustrated, inspirational tale, Scaredy Book shows the
fun that is to be had when you stop letting worry hold you back.
Children and parents alike will enjoy this story about being brave,
taking risks, and living to tell the tale!
