Nasreen's Secret School: A True Story from Afghanistan

40 pp. | Simon/Beach Lane | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-9437-4 $16.99
(2) K-3 After Nasreen's parents disappeared, the little girl "never spoke a word." Her grandmother takes her to a secret school for girls, where for months Nasreen remains silent. Winter's text is elegantly and eloquently spare; her reminder that education is a privilege worth fighting for is a powerful one. The accompanying acrylic paintings use many patterns and colors representative of Afghani fabrics.
