Malaika's Winter Carnival

Malaika faces her first Canadian winter with trepidation, but when her school hosts a winter carnival, she discovers that snow and ice can be just as magical as the Caribbean warmth she left behind. Irene Luxbacher's collage-style art captures the contrast between tropical memories and snowy landscapes. This is a charming choice for students because it turns the challenge of adapting to a new climate into an adventure.
