Memorial Award Honor * Reha feels torn between two worlds: school,
where she's the only Indian American student, and home, with her
family's traditions and holidays. But Reha's parents don't
understand why she's conflicted-they only notice when Reha doesn't
meet their strict expectations. Reha feels disconnected from her
mother, or Amma. Although their names are linked-Reha means "star"
and Punam means "moon"-they are a universe apart. Then Reha finds
out that her Amma is sick. Really sick. Reha, who dreams of
becoming a doctor even though she can't stomach the sight of blood,
is determined to make her Amma well again. She'll be the perfect
daughter, if it means saving her Amma's life. From Indies Introduce
author Rajani LaRocca comes a radiant story about the ties that
bind and how to go on in the face of unthinkable loss. This is the
perfect next read for fans of Jasmine Warga and Thanhha Lai.
The main character in this illustrated book is a cheeky and plucky
little house that doesn't have a place to live. So he packs his
bag, and he and his best friend Bear set off into the big wide
world to find themselves their 'forever home.' Along the way they
encounter lots of interesting characters, some nice, some sad, some
not so nice, and some very rude characters indeed! However, the
Little House is no quitter; he never gives up. And just when we
think that he and Bear will remain forever homeless, something
surprising turns up. The story of the Little House is told in
clever, engaging and amusing rhyme. The illustrations are
beautifully detailed and well observed, and include caricatures of
high-rise flats, country mansions, floaty boats, and a very busy,
whizzy caravan. If you love a good adventure, if you love funny
pictures, if you delight in clever storytelling, you will love The
Little House that didn't have a home. And if you love a happy
ending, the fun starts here!
Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, The cow jumped over the
moon. The little dog laughed to see such fun, And the dish ran away
with the spoon! But what happens next? With new verses about piano
playing pigs and chimps with cellos, the rhyming fun continues!
Bouncy illustrations, innovative die cutting and popular rhymes
make Books with Holes a must for every child. This smaller edition
of the original book includes a CD.
