Bones That Float: A Story of Adopting
Cambodia by Kari Grossman |
http://www.bonesthatfloat.com/order/index.php
This magnificent book encompasses Kari’s personal
journey to adoption, Cambodia’s gruesome history of war and
genocide, and the stories of two Cambodians—one who escaped the
Khmer Rouge’s bloody reign and one who did not.
The interweaving stories grab your heartstrings and
do not let go. Bones That Float takes you into the Khmer
Rouge jungle where boy soldiers force starving families to labor all
day at gunpoint, and it brings you to modern-day Phnom Penh streets
where foreign pedophiles purchase the innocence of preteen Cambodian
girls.
But ultimately Bones That Float—a Cambodian
phrase for the sacred that rises above the suffering—is a tale of
hope. Kari reminds us that our world is "one big family" and that we
cannot—or dare not—turn our backs on people who suffer in part
because of our country’s own foreign policy missteps.

Little Sap and Monsieur Rodin by
Michelle Lord |
It’s 1906 and the
court dancers in the Cambodian royal palace are abuzz with news of a
trip to France for the Colonial Exhibition. Little Sap, a poor
country girl who joined the dance troupe to give her family a better
life, is apprehensive about traveling to a faraway land.
In Paris the artist Auguste Rodin is captivated by the classical
beauty of Cambodian dance. He insists on sketching the dancers,
especially Little Sap. As Rodin’s pencil sweeps across his paper,
Little Sap’s worries melt away. She realizes how much she has grown
as a dancer and how far she has come in fulfilling her
special duty to her family.
With grace and imagination, this touching story relives the
historical encounter between Rodin and Little Sap, weaving together
the hopes and aspirations of a young girl and the beauty of artistic
expression.

The Bora Boys and the
Last Big Door by Michael Feeney
|
Jack and Mickey are
little boys living on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, with their
family. During a naptime, unable to sleep,
Jack and Mickey climb to their house’s attic, where they meet
Whalebone, the ghost of an old sailor. When he learns that Jack has
been adopted from Cambodia, he escorts the boys on a special
naptime trip, to Cambodia of old, when Whalebone himself was young
and vigorous.
It is the Khmer New
Year, a time of great celebration, and the boys have a splendid
time, filled with exciting experiences. They travel by oxcart through
a countryside of fragrant fields, and share meals of tasty and very
different foods. Whalebone takes them to the big city, for the
annual festival to watch the thrilling oxcart races. Whale bone makes
sure to have the boys back in their Nantucket beds by the end of
naptime, but both boys remember their adventure, and Jack knows
about the beautiful country he comes from.
It is a dream.
It is an adventure.
It is a book about little boys, alike and different, and how
they come to be part of the same family, from worlds apart.

I Love School- My School
in Cambodia |
The I Love School series
takes viewers on a trip around the world to meet kids, showing us
their schools, their environment and their daily activities. In
Cambodia we meet 12 year old Sophea who lives in the New Family Ctr.
(an orphanage) near Phnom Penh and who rides his bike to
school.
"We received the I
Love School video yesterday and have watched it over and over.
The children LOVE it! Lea says it's the only Cambodia tape
that is a "happy" tape (although she wishes it were
longer). She kept saying, "I did that!" and pointing
at all the things she remembers doing in her school in Siem Reap
province. It is just perfect for her class and her teacher can't
wait to see it too. Thank you SO MUCH for your suggestion."
