Razia's Ray of Hope: One Girl's Dream of an Education

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-1-55453-816-4 $18.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Suana Verelst. Razia, an Afghan girl, wants to attend the new girls' school being built in her village, but her brothers say no. By proving that education will help her family, Razia wins permission to go. The narrative ends abruptly, but the well-evoked setting, pictured in the striking mixed-media illustrations, gives a specific cultural flavor to the powerful story, inspired by a real school. Glos.
