Description
When Malaika moves to Canada, theres a lot to get used to, especially Carnival in the wintertime!Malaika is happy to be reunited with Mummy, but it means moving to Canada, where everything is different. Its cold in Québec City, no one understands when she talks and Carnival is nothing like the celebration Malaika knows from home!When Mummy marries Mr. Frédéric, Malaika gets a new sister called Adèle. Her new family is nice, but Malaika misses Grandma. She has to wear a puffy purple coat, learn a new language and get used to calling this new place home. Things come to a head when Mummy and Mr. Frédéric take Malaika and Adèle to a carnival. Malaika is dismayed that there are no colorful costumes and that its nothing like Carnival at home in the Caribbean! She is so angry that she kicks over Adèles snow castle, but that doesnt make her feel any better. It takes a video chat with Grandma to help Malaika see the good things about her new home and family. Nadia L. Hohns prose, written in a blend of standard English and Caribbean patois, tells a warm story about the importance of family, especially when adjusting to a new home. Readers of the first Malaika book will want to find out what happens when she moves to Canada, and will enjoy seeing Malaika and her family once again depicted through Irene Luxbachers colorful collage illustrations.
