(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Jamie Hogan. Ten-year-old Naima paints alpanas, decorative patterns adorning Bangladeshi homes. But disguising herself as a boy seems the only way to contribute earnings to her household. Ultimately, Naima figures out how to earn money with her talents--no disguise necessary. Perkins depicts a rural Bangladesh on the verge of change. Black-and-white drawings provide glimpses into Naima's dynamic world. An author's note is appended. Glos.
