A multicultural winner!,

This review is from: Basket Of Bangles, A (Library Binding)
This book delivers a keen insight to the impact of micro-lending as a positive force for change. The story tells how a young woman and four of her friends, with seed money borrowed from an innovative bank in Bangladesh, change their lives by starting their own businesses. It works on many levels including multiculturalism, women's rights, capitalism and entrepreneurship. Based on the real success of the Grameen Bank, this is the kind of story that all western children need to understand in an ever growing global village. This book has recently been listed as one of the Best Children's Books of the Year from Bank Street College and also received a 2003 Skipping Stones Honor Award in the Multicultural and International Books category.

This review is from: Basket Of Bangles, A (Library Binding)
Although this looks like a child's book, I recently donated my copy to the local Community College library for our English as a Second Language Program.It is a very inspiring story about how women in Bangladesh are able to get micro-loans to begin home-based businesses. Illustrated by former Delawarean, Cheryl Kirk Noll, the book has lovely pictures that both children and adults will learn from and enjoy. Kim Burdick Stanton, Delaware |
