Sparrow Girl by Sara Pennypacker
5.0
Inspired by an actual historical event,Sparrow Girl is a tale of bravery, respect for the environment, and packs a powerful "so-what" (what we call the author's message).
Mao Tse-Tung's decree to kill the sparrows in China in 1958 led to the demise of millions of innocent Chinese citizens. What would happen if one little girl dared to listen to her heart and attempt to save some of the struggling birds? "Ming-Li is a true farmer" reminds the readers that though some might be small, their power can be mighty.
