A review by middle_name_joy
Four Feet, Two Sandals by Khadra Mohammed, Karen Lynn Williams
5.0
Ten-year-old Lina lives with her mother and brother in a refugee camp in Pakistan. She meets another girl, Feroza, because each one has a shoe in a pair, and they decide to share the footwear, each girl wearing the shoes for a day and then trading. It's a story of friendship as well as compassion.
I loved the inclusion of relevant details of the Arabic culture and the Middle East region, and done so at a level children can understand. Kids have the most wonderous ability to relate to other children all around the world. Lina and Feroza's story has heart and brings awareness to the millions of children refugees worldwide.
I would use this book as a read aloud that could have effective writing connections/activities. For grades 2 and up.
