Mia's Story: A Sketchbook of Hopes and Dreams
A story of hope and dreams set in a poverty-stricken community in South America.
Mia lives with her family in a small South American village beneath the snowy mountains. Their house is put together from the dumped rubbish of the city. One day Mia’s father brings her a puppy, which she calls Poco because he’s so small. When Poco runs away, Mia travels far up into the mountains to search for him. There she finds some white mountain flowers, growing under the stars, as well as something much more powerful – hope.
- Inspired by the author’s visit, the realistic setting provides a powerful and fresh vision of a vastly different society.
