Paloma and the Red Carpet

Ages 4 to 8, Grades K to 3

A tender, child-friendly exploration of immigration, new experiences, and the power of creativity from acclaimed author/illustrator Carme Lemniscates.

When Paloma arrives at the big building with so many other children living there, she stays silent and watches. But soon the cozy red carpet beckons--a place for her to draw and make friends, learn the language and learn to read. More change looms, however, and the children learn they'll have to leave their beloved carpet behind, so Paloma and her friends get creative and imagine a fitting farewell for their magic carpet. This is a touching story of refuge, change, and friendship from the talented author/illustrator Carme Lemniscates.
