Under the Red Shawl

About this book

Everyone was leaving town on the day that Salim was born. Mama folded him into her shawl and started walking amid the dust and color. Starting out in a new place is tough, but friendship, kindness, and imagination help Salim, Mama, and Donkey discover their new world. In this stunning picture book by award-winning creators Vikki Conley and Martina Heiduczek, we journey with Salim as he grows up, creating a new life around him.
