Amaleigha Makes a New Friend by Janice Pratt – Review by Sarah King

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

This story was really one I enjoyed sharing with my niece and nephew so much, so I’m not sure who enjoyed it more. It had a very nostalgic vibe for me – writing to a penpal in elementary. The chance to get to know someone from some place different from you. The classroom aspect sharing all the cultural information was very informative. But, what I appreciated even more though is how difficult the subject of unrest and war is, approaching the subject in a manner the younger kids would be able to understand. I would absolutely recommend this book!
