Rickshaw Girl by Mitali Perkins

5.0

I was instantly drawn into this book. I wanted to know more about Naima and her family. She has the sweetest intentions, but things don't work out the way she first plans. She doesn't give up and continues to try to make things right. The book shows a positive relationship between her parents, her sister, the community, and even the next door neighbor boy, whom she secretly sees to continue their friendship and bounce ideas off of. It even shares how the opportunities that women have in Bangladesh are expanding and women are finding ways to build their own businesses.
