Description
Its Carnival time. The first Carnival since Malaikas mother moved away to find a good job and provide for Malaika and her grandmother. Her mother promised she would send money for a costume, but when the money doesnt arrive, will Malaika still be able to dance in the parade? Disappointed and upset at her grandmothers hand-me-down costume, Malaika leaves the house, running into Ms. Chin, the tailor, who offers Malaika a bag of scrap fabric. With her grandmothers help, Malaika creates a patchwork rainbow peacock costume, and dances proudly in the parade. A heartwarming story about family, community and the celebration of Carnival, Nadia Hohns warm and colloquial language and Irene Luxbachers vibrant collage-style illustrations make this a strikingly original picture book.
