Beautifully Illustrated and a Nice Story to Boot

Ms. Weisman tells a nice story about a young Pueblo girl named Rama, who has moved to the city with her family. Rama has to watch her younger brothers while an older woman watches her from the top window of the building they live in. Rama befriends the woman and gives her a storyteller doll that had been given to her by her grandfather and by book's end the older woman is telling the children stories on a regular basis and they are tell her stories as well.However, the real beauty of this book are the fine illustrations by Artist David Bradley. This book and his illustrations have been an important part of how my sister-in-law has shown my two wonderful nieces that we are not all the same. These girls are being raised, learning that different is different, not better, not worse, just different and that we have to accept people as they are. If we can all do that, than our future is rosy and bright. Five stars from Captain Katie.Review submitted (...)
