Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

C'est le temps du carnaval. Le premier depuis le départ de la maman de Malaika pour le Canada. Celle-ci est partie dans l'espoir d'y trouver un bon emploi pour pourvoir aux besoins de sa famille. Elle avait promis qu'elle enverrait à Malaika de l'argent pour acheter un costume pour la fête, mais l'argent n'est pas arrivé. Malaika pourra-t-elle tout de même participer au défilé?

Une histoire touchante sur la famille, l'immigration et la célébration du carnaval. L'écriture chaleureuse et simple de Nadia Hohn et les illustrations vibrantes de style papier découpé créent un album unique et haut en couleur.

It's Carnival time. The first Carnival since Malaika's mother moved to Canada to find a good job and provide for Malaika and her grandmother. Her mother promised she would send money for a costume, but when the money doesn't arrive, will Malaika still be able to dance in the parade?

A heartwarming story about family, community and the celebration of Carnival, Nadia Hohn's warm and colloquial language and Irene Luxbacher's vibrant collage-style illustrations make this a strikingly original picture book.

Original title: Malaïka's Costume
