ABOUT THE BOOK: “Not so long ago and not so far away, people with guns could take a family, burn a house and disappear, leaving a small child alone in the world.” So begins the true story of Selavi, a small boy who finds himself on the streets of Haiti. Selavi finds other street children who share their food and a place to sleep with him. Together they proclaim a message of hope through murals and radio programs.

 

 

Editorial Reviews: This book shows tremendous compassion and udertanding

--Charlotte Zolotow

Mwenmenm, mwen te yon timoun Ayiti, mwen kab sèlman espere istwa Selavi a kapab repete nan lavi anpil lòt timoun, ki va devni ekriven demen ak jounalis radyo oswa televizyon, ki va koutinye rakonte--oswa montre--istwa yo yon fason ki va ase fò pou okenn kote nan lemonn pa rive neglije yo ankò.

--Edwidge Dantica, otè liv

Children long to become capable and to show how much they can care for each other. This book helps them begin to think and to find ways of doing this, even as children. Especially as Children.

When Sophie Gets Angry and Tiger Falls,
