Incredibly Moving! Rating:
5 / 5
I used to live in Thailand and I was worried how true to the culture the book was going to be. Not to worry, this book is wonderful. I can't believe how good it is. I'm glad I bought it and will highly recommend it to my Peace Corps friends.
BEAUTIFUL! Rating:
5 / 5
I was so touched by the beautiful language and touching portrait of Malila. Every child has experienced ostracism at some point and this is an excellent story how one child not only survives it, but flourishes. Keep a hanky handy! A fantastic story to read aloud!

5 / 5
By the time I was reading the final three chapters aloud to my class, there was not a dry eye amongst my charges. I had my students write letters to Malila (the main character) and the depth of empathy revealed in this assignment pored its soul in their expression.
