And this just in from the publicist for Four Feet Two Sandals:
A piece of happy news: Afghanistannytt, the journal of a Swedish charity called Afghanistankommittén (may sound small but in fact it’s very established — I’ve heard that they’re the largest employer in Afghanistan because of their many schools, health centers etc), has a full page on Four feet, two sandals.
They asked a well-known children’s author and activist, Monica Zak, to interview a 13-year-old girl in a small town about the book.
She fled with her family from Afghanistan at age 10 and is now 13. She says she’ll bring the book to school because everybody should read it!
This makes me smile!
