Publisher Description: I squint through the rising heat waves of the stifling Cambodian sun. They beat down on me like the cane my father uses at home when I bring home no money. Carved faces watch me pitifully through their dark, stone eyes. I stare back at them, determined not to look away... Inspired by a true-life encounter between the author, Elizabeth Anne Biddle, and a Cambodian girl, A Girl Called Nothing is a vibrant collection including an original short story, Cambodian myths, legends, and history, accompanied by enthralling photos taken by the Biddle family. It is the first book in a series by the author called Through Other Eyes. Artist Joey Yau hauntingly illustrates these tales of Cambodia. Perfect for anyone who loves history, adventure, majestic images and epic stories, A Girl Called Nothing will transport you into one of the most exotically enticing countries of the twenty-first century. By purchasing this book, you will help children in Cambodia who deserve a brighter future. Please visit www.mloptapang.org for more information. |
