| 9781599902876 | Afghan Dreams: Young Voices of Afghanistan | O'Brien, Tony, Sullivan, Michael | if The Stories That Come Out Of Afghanistan Are Ever To Contain Hope For The Future, Then The Young People Readers Will Meet In These Pages Are That Hope. From Street Workers To Female Students In Newly Formed Academies, Children Who Work In Family Businesses, And Pickpockets Who Steal From Visiting Photographers, These Are The Faces Of Young Afghanis Who Universally Wish For Peace In Their Neighborhoods, In Their Country, In Their Lifetimes.award-winning Photojournalist Tony O’brien And Filmmaker Mike Sullivan Went To Afghanistan To Interview And Photograph Children Of A Wide Range Of Ages, From Varied Ethnic Backgrounds, And With Very Different Daily Lives. As Each One Tells His Or Her Story The Reader Is Placed Right In The Middle Of Everyday Life As It Is Lived By Children In The Midst Of One Of The World’s Most Enduringly Conflict-ridden Countries.voyahope And Despair Dance Uneasily With Each Other Throughout The Pages Of This Simple Yet Powerful Book. Although It Is Clichtd To Say That Something Takes One Behind The Headlines, This Book Truly Makes The Daily Struggles Of Afghan's Children Seem Real And Personally Compelling. Comprised Of Photojournalist O'brien's Portraits Of Afghani Children Ages Eight Through Fifteen, This Book Explores The Lives Of Diverse Youth Including Pickpockets, Students, And Those Working As Bakers, Incense Sellers, And Carpet Makers. It Includes A Section On Youth Living In Kabul And Those Residing In The Countryside. One Of The Most Striking Aspects Of The Photos Is That The Youth Seem Significantly Older Than They Actually Are. O'brien's Photographs Are Accompanied By Responses To Interviews Conducted By O'brien And Documentarian Sullivan. The Authors Asked The Youth About Their Dreams And Wishes And What They Would Like To Show Children From Another Country. As The Authors Explain In Their Introduction, The Answers Ranged From Hopes For Daily Survival To Dreams About The Future, But Many Focused On Their Strong Desire For Education. Most American Readers Will Need Help From Teachers And Librarians To Discover This Book. Although Moving And Insightful, It Does Not Necessarily Fit The Needs Of Homework Assignments. Although The Number And Scope Of Young People Profiled Is One Of The Book's Greatest Strengths, It May Also Be A Weakness For Readers Who Prefer To Thoroughly Get To Know And Identify With A Few Subjects.

| 9780064402880 | Arthur, for the Very First Time | Patricia MacLachlan | Arthur Rasby is ten years old and having the worst summer of his life. His parents don't listen to him, so he writes everything down -- everything that's real -- in his journal. But when he goes to stay with his Great-Aunt Elda and Great-Uncle Wrisby on their farm, his world is turned upside down. For the first time Arthur wonders what's real and what's not. His aunt and uncle do things Arthur's parents would never do -- like climbing out windows to sit in trees, singing to their pet pig, and speaking French to a pet chicken. Life on the farm happens much too fast to write down -- sometimes wonderful, sometimes terrible. Arthur begins to understand there is more than one way of seeing and doing and loving. And he realizes there's a whole world just waiting to be discovered. | Harper Collins |
