Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

You can’t help thinking how good it would be if Beatrice’s attitude to life could rub off on those of us who measure our poverty by the number of designer accessories we have, or the car we drive. It will also, no doubt, be popular with parents and teachers, for sharing with those who see school and parents as major impositions on their lives.

(Armadillo Magazine)

Describes the life of Beatrice, a 13 year old orphan in Nairobi, Kenya, in an attractive book to enable children to identify with her.

(Church Times)

Gives young readers an honest picture of the realities of life in one of the world's most difficult places. But Beatrice's appreciation of what she is offered at school and her ambitions for the future prevent it being downbeat.

(School Librarian)

Reseña del editor:

Beatrice is a thirteen-year-old orphan in Kibera, Nairobi - a Kenyan shantytown built on refuse and rubbish and one of the biggest slums in Africa. In this book she describes her life: her walk to school, the dust that blows between her teeth and the mud she wades through, her teacher's down-to-earth encouragement, her fear of being alone, how safe she feels at school...
This sensitive account in words and photographs reveals the realities of life for some of the world's most deprived people - and offers hope as Beatrice follows her dream – to be a nurse.
