Tous les livres de Hena Khan
A Pakistani-American Muslim girl struggles to stay true to her family’s vibrant culture while simultaneously blending in at school after tragedy strikes her community in this sweet and moving middle grade novel from the award-winning author of It’s Ramadan, Curious George and Golden Domes and Silver Lanterns.
Amina has never been comfortable in the spotlight. She is happy just hanging out with her best friend, Soojin. Except now that she’s in middle school everything feels different. Soojin is suddenly hanging out with Emily, one of the “cool” girls in the class, and even talking about changing her name to something more “American.” Does Amina need to start changing too? Or hiding who she is to fit in? While Amina grapples with these questions, she is devastated when her local mosque is vandalized.
Amina’s Voice brings to life the joys and challenges of a young Pakistani American and highlights the many ways in which one girl’s voice can help bring a diverse community together to love and support each other.
La passion d'Amina, c'est la musique. Elle a une voix d'ange mais bien trop le trac pour oser chanter un solo devant toute l'école. Malgré les encouragements de sa meilleure amie Soo-Jin, elle préfère rester dans l'ombre. Mais depuis qu'elles sont entrées en sixième, quelque chose a changé. Voilà que Soo-Jin se met à vouloir un prénom américain et à devenir copine avec cette peste d'Emily ! Sans compter que la venue de l'oncle d'Amina du Pakistan remet en question le mode de vie familial...
À douze ans il est parfois difficile de trouver sa voie !
