Description
Salmina Arends' school was a scary place. The fence had holes, the walls
needed paint, and the yard was full of weeds and rubbish. But things
started to look up when the school received new computers. Then disaster
struck the school! Now parents, teachers, and students alike must rally
together to revive their school and community.
Books and Bricks is
based on a real event at a primary school in Cape Town, South Africa,
shortly after the historic elections in 1994, that ended apartheid and
elected the first black president, Nelson Mandela. Change, even change
for the better, can be unsettling yet it provides an opportunity to work
together to improve the world. Books and Bricks is a compelling and
uplifting story about self-reliance and community building.
