My Name Is Sangoel

32 pp. | Eerdmans | July, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5307-3 $17.00
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. Eight-year-old Sangoel creates a shirt with a rebus (sun + goal) to help his classmates pronounce his name. Putting a face to today's Sudanese political refugees, the contemporary story reveals, with sensitivity, the difficulties children confront when adapting to a new country. Rich with patterns, Stock's expressive illustrations convey Sangoel's different emotions.
