Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt – Review by Tanya Wall, August 2023

Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a well written book that shows how a young person can develop a friendship across the ocean through written letter. This story shows how Amaleigha makes a new friend in the Ukraine and develops an understanding of where her friend lives – which is much different than were we live. Not only did she learn about the present Ukraine, but her teacher taught them the history of the country – giving them the background needed to know and understand present day Ukraine. This story provides a glimpse of how children view wartime and how those of us not living it can have empathy. What a great book!
