But she wishes she could help her father earn money like her best friend helps his family by driving his father's rickshaw. When Naima's rash efforts to help put the family in deeper debt, she draws on her resourceful nature to use her talents and follow the changing model of women's roles in Bangladesh. "As I read this book over winter break, the shocking thought came over me like a slow-rising sun: 'I can't wait to get back to school and read this aloud!'" — Esmé Raji Codell "A child-eye's view of Bangladesh that makes a strong and accessible statement about heritage, tradition and the changing role of women, Naima's story will be relished by students and teachers alike." — Kirkus Reviews "Her voice is true to her age, and her desire to help her family is convincingly portrayed; though may kids may wish the book had shown Naima successfully on the go in her apprenticeship, the point here is her acquisition of opportunity." — The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Perkins draws on her family roots to tell the lively contemporary story of a young Bangadeshi girl who challenges the traditional role of women in her village so that she can help her struggling family in hard times. . . . a realistic story with surprises that continue until the end." — Booklist Read a chapter from Rickshaw Girl.
