Faraway sister
Luz Huntington-Moskos
- Reading
- Take time with the watercolour illustrations, and invite your child to notice how the girls spend time together in the scenes.
- Themes
- Friendship across differences: Violet, Catalina and Sammy form a friendship while sharing ordinary activities during Sammy’s stay with Violet’s family. The story presents friendship across differences as a positive possibility.
- Worth knowing
- The exchange student’s year-long stay with another family is central to the story; consider whether this kind of change in household would prompt questions from your child.
