Just finished Pam’s book,Muzungu. i thoroughly enjoyed the read, although at times some parts were hard to swallow. i think we all need to see the other side of Africa, or for that matter, the other side of any third world country. I fell in love with some of the players in the book and would love to meet them. I feel that this book is a necessary read for anyone who wants to donate money or time to any project in another country, if for no other reason than to see what the real world is all about. Nice job, Pam, i hope they print this book in hardback one day. Thanks for writing this book and pushing to get it published.
Reviews for When This Is Over, I Will Go To School, And I Will Learn To Read:
by Lisa Barker, for Children’s Book Review; Biblio Reads;
Book review: A touching and dramatic story that will captivate children and adults. What I like best about When This Is Over, I Will Go To School, And I Will Learn To Read is the immediacy and the connection children will readily make with the child telling this story. Told in a matter-of-fact way, the story draws the reader into the life of a a young Kenyan boy, submerging the reader in his personal experiences, his family and language. This book is an opportunity for educators to introduce the daily life and living conditions of poor children in Africa, sparking interest and compassion that can lead to action in the children who are tomorrow’s leaders.
