Reviews
". . . an engaging, poignant story with exquisite taste and wonderful details.-- ""Kinderlit"" A fun choice for libraries seeking books about creativity in general or the Caribbean in particular.-- ""School Library Journal"" A wholly earned celebration.-- ""Kirkus"" Hohn employs a unique style of voice that is both figuratively and literaly lyrical.-- ""Canadian Children's Book News"" Like a rainbow peacock itself, the illustrations in this book burst with a frenzy of colors and textures.-- ""Booklist Online"" Malaika's Costume is a highly recommended story that celebrates the different cultures of the world and the emotional journey of a young child.-- ""CM Magazine"" The text is told in the colloquial voice of the little girl, and readers will quickly and easily feel a part of her circle. Carnival is an important holiday in many cultures, and it's good to have a picture book to celebrate it.-- ""Horn Book"" This is actually a realistic portrait of the consequences of global immigration and economics. But it's also the story of how much little girls love their moms. Beautiful.--Andrew Kaufman ""Globe and Mail"""
