Krishnaswami, Uma. Bringing Asha Home. Illustrated by Jamel Akib. Lee & Low Books, 2006. ISBN 1-58430-259-3 $16.95.
Continuing with Krishnaswami’s unique subject of India and Hindu culture, Bringing Asha Home, is a delightful narrative story about family. Eight-year-old Arun impatiently waits for the international adoption of his new baby sister, Asha. This is a heart-warming fictional story of how a little boy is longing for his new little sister to come home. The realistic double-spread chalk drawings make it seem comfortable and create a soothing tone for the readers.
