Literature
Geography
and economics come together in Howard's multicultural story of
a young woman from Bangladesh. Lively watercolors wonderfully
depict the village Sufiya lives in. Vibrant-colored saris clothe
the women, woven mats cover the floors of the simple grasshuts,
and the marketplace is filled with people, animals, stalls, and wares for sale.A good addition to an elementary economics curriculum.
