Child of Dandelions Review

In language that evokes the color, flavor and mystery of Africa and India, Nanji chronicles the experiences of an Indian girl in Uganda during the time of Idi Amin’s expulsion order. As Sabine awakens to the violence and oppression in her community and country, she also awakens to the healing power of tolerance – as only the young can. Told to the unbroken beat of a day-by-day countdown, Nanji tells a suspenseful and important tale.
