"For inspiring empathy in young readers, you can't get better than
this book." --R. J. Palacio, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Wonder
In the companion novel to the beloved and award-winning Amina's
Voice, Amina once again uses her voice to bridge the places, people,
and communities she loves--this time across continents.
It's the last few days of her vacation in Pakistan, and Amina has loved
every minute of it. The food, the shops, the time she's spent with her
family--all of it holds a special place in Amina's heart. Now that the
school year is starting again, she's sad to leave, but also excited to
share the wonders of Pakistan with her friends back in Greendale.
After she's home, though, her friends don't seem overly interested in
her trip. And when she decides to do a presentation on Pakistani hero
Malala Yousafzai, her classmates focus on the worst parts of the story.
How can Amina share the beauty of Pakistan when no one wants to listen?
