Description

Malaikas mother cant buy her a carnival costume will she still be able to dance in the parade? Its carnival time the first carnival since Malaikas mother moved to Canada to find a good job and provide for Malaika and her grandmother. Her mother promised she would send money for a costume, and Malaika marks off the days on her calendar as she waits for Mummys letter to arrive. But when the letter finally comes, Malaika learns that there is no money for her costume. Disappointed and upset at the thought of wearing her grandmothers handmedown costume, Malaika leaves the house, running into Ms. Chin, the tailor, who offers Malaika a bag of scrap fabric. With her grandmothers help, Malaika creates a patchwork rainbow peacock costume, and dances proudly in the parade. This heartwarming story about family, community and the celebration of carnival is written in a blend of standard English and Caribbean patois. Nadia L. Hohns warm prose and Irene Luxbachers vibrant collagestyle illustrations make this a strikingly original picture book. Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts CCSS.ELALITERACY.RL.K.6 With prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.
