Rickshaw Girl

by Mitali Perkins, Jamie Hogan
Rickshaw Girl - Thryft
Rickshaw Girl - Thryft

Defying tradition to support her family.

Rickshaw Girl is a wonderful read for young girls who are interested in learning about different cultures and traditions. It not only highlights the importance of family and friendship but also showcases the bravery and resourcefulness of a young girl who defies tradition to help those she loves. The glossary of Bangla words and the author's note about a changing Bangladesh and microfinance are an added bonus for readers interested in expanding their knowledge about different cultures. This book is definitely worthy of the accolades it has received, including being on the list of New York Public Library's "100 Best Children's Books of the Past 100 Years."

  • Jane Addams Children's Book Award Nominee for Older Children (2008)
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
