Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Apres avoir perdu sa jambe dans un accident, Aria recoit une prothese. Mais sa nouvelle jambe rend inconfortable le fait de s'asseoir sur le sol dur de la classe. Elle decide donc de prendre les choses en main et de construire un banc! Les filles de l'ecole lui disent qu'elle ne peut pas le faire: seuls les garcons peuvent construire des choses. Mais Aria sait qu'elle peut faire tout ce qu'elle veut et, avec l'aide de sa mere, de son frere et du gentil menuisier de la ville, elle trouve le courage, la paix et la sagesse dont elle a besoin pour cette nouvelle etape de sa vie.

Basee sur une partie de l'experience personnelle de l'auteure qui a grandi en Afghanistan, cette belle histoire enseigne la perseverance face a l'adversite.

When Aria loses her leg in an accident, she welcomes a helper-leg. But her new leg makes sitting on the hard classroom floor uncomfortable, so she decides to take matters into her own hands and build a bench! The schoolgirls tell her she can't do that - only boys can build things. But Aria knows she can do anything she puts her mind to, and with the help of her mom, brother, and the kind local carpenter, she finds the courage, peace, and wisdom she needs during this new phase of her life.

Based on parts of the author's personal experiences growing up in Afghanistan, this beautiful story teaches perseverance in the face of adversity.
