Lorsque Malaika découvre que sa mère attend un bébé, elle est submergée par les émotions. Que va-t-il se passer quand le bébé sera là? Sa mère va-t-elle oublier Malaika? Il y a aussi un nouvel élève dans sa classe qui vient de loin et qui parle un peu différemment, comme elle. Malaika compte sur cette nouvelle amitié pour l’aider à accepter les changements qui s’annoncent dans sa famille.
Un texte charmant et des illustrations pleines de couleurs accompagnent cette charmante histoire sur la famille, l’amitié et les changements.
When Malaika finds out that her mom is pregnant, she’s overcome with many different emotions. What will it be like when the baby comes? Will her mom forget about her? There’s also a new student in her class who comes from far away and talks a bit differently, just like Malaika. Will she be able to adapt to this new change in her family? Maybe a friendship with her new classmate will help…
Enchanting prose and colourful illustrations accompany a charming story about family, friendship, and adapting to life changes.
