Reviews
Sophy, who lives in modern-day Cambodia, is unable to attend school because it is eight kilometers away, and she has no shoes. After a census-taker from the city befriends her, sending her a pair of running shoes, Sophy courageously runs the distance to attend classes. Although her courage is further tested when she discovers she’s the only girl in school, she puts her classmates in their place by beating them in foot races. When the census-taker returns the following year, Sophy expresses her dream of becoming a teacher. There’s not much plot here, but the writing is beautiful, and the unfamiliar setting will intrigue many young listeners. Cultural items not mentioned in the text can be found in the uncluttered pictures, which feature characters with distinct personalities. This is a good example of a story with a universal message (finding courage to follow one’s dreams) as it provides a window into an unfamiliar place and way of life. Grades K-2. --Randall Enos
