arbor clothing

When relief workers bring used clothing to a refugee camp in Pakistan, ten-year-old Lina is thrilled when she finds a sandal that fits her foot perfectly – until she sees that another girl has the matching shoe. But soon Lina and Feroza meet and decide that it is better to share the sandals than for each to wear only one. As they go about their rountines – washing clothes in the river, waiting in line for water, and watching for their names to appear on the list to go to America – the girls discover the true meaning of friendship and sacrifice. This book honors the experiences of refugee children around the world, whose daily existence is marked by uncertainty and fear. Warm colors and bold brush strokes are the perfect complement to this story of courage and hope.

Best review for Brigid’s Cloak

Bobbie Kalman’s acclaimed Historic Communities Series provides a close-up view of how people lived more than two hundred years ago. Colorful photos, many taken by Bobbie Kalman herself at restored historic villages across the country, help support the fascinating information. Children will have fun learning about:
– early homes and the settler community
– what people wore and the crafts they made
– how settlers made their living
– how they spent their leisure time
– the values, customs, and traditions of the early settlers

Children’s Clothing of the 1800s shows readers how children dressed in the 19th century and how the early settlers were masters of recycling by passing clothes down from child to child, darning them, or using them to make other things like rag rugs. Beautiful full-color photos and illustrations show:
– how both boys and girls dressed at different ages
– the “breeching” of boys at 3 or 4 years of age
– the elaborate layers of undergarments worn by young girls
– clothes for play and fancy fashions of the day
