Book Description
PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • A “vivid and devastating” (The New York Times) portrait of an indomitable girl—from acclaimed journalist Andrea Elliott “From its first indelible pages to its rich and startling conclusion, Invisible Child had me, by turns, stricken, inspired, outraged, illuminated, in tears, and hungering for reimmersion in its Dickensian depths.”—Ayad Akhtar, author of Homeland Elegies ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Atlantic, The New York Times Book Review, Time, NPR, Library Journal In Invisible Child, Pulitzer Prize winner Andrea Elliott follows eight dramatic years in the life of Dasani, a girl whose imagination is as soaring as the skyscrapers near her Brooklyn shelter. In this sweeping narrative, Elliott weaves the story of Dasani’s childhood with the history of her ancestors, tracing their passage from slavery to the Great Migration north. As Dasani comes of age, New York City’s homeless crisis has exploded, deepening the chasm between rich and poor. She must guide her siblings through a world riddled by hunger, violence, racism, drug addiction, and the threat of foster care. Out on the street, Dasani becomes a fierce fighter “to protect those who I love.” When she finally escapes city life to enroll in a boarding school, she faces an impossible question: What if leaving poverty means abandoning your family, and yourself? A work of luminous and riveting prose, Elliott’s Invisible Child reads like a page-turning novel. It is an astonishing story about the power of resilience, the importance of family and the cost of inequality—told through the crucible of one remarkable girl. Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Book Prize • Finalist for the Bernstein Award and the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award

Book Description
Everyone has a story but many go unheard, I thank God for granting me an opportunity to share my story. You have probably heard or seen many children sponsored through Compassion International or other charitable organizations, laboring to help children out of poverty all over the world. Have you ever wondered where those children end up or the kind of adults they grow up to become?I am among the finished products of Compassion International's ministry in Uganda. In this book, I walk you through the journey of my life; the intriguing story of how I was born, how poverty/suffering came into my family and how I actually ended up in a Compassion program. I share with you my experience of having a sponsor and what that really meant to me, how I explored the journey of my school life and all the challenges I faced growing up. Discover how the impact of God's word that I learnt from my Compassion project enabled me to endure and overcome all through these difficult times.Mine has a happy ending, with the experience of going through college and becoming the first graduate in my entire family, getting married and finally coming to the United States. I'm convinced that God has been so good to me and one of the goals of my writing this book, is to share with you a testimony of God's faithfulness in my life over the years.Secondly, I'm convinced through my sponsorship experience that Compassion International's model of child development is highly exceptional. There are several organizations with child sponsorship programs but Compassion is among the few that put God's word at the center of their work. Beyond meeting physical needs, children need God's word. No one can transform a human being without the work of His creator; Compassion mastered this and their impact is greatly felt as they help release children from poverty in Jesus' name. My prayer and desire is that whoever is giving or contributing in any way towards those living in poverty all over the world will be encouraged through my story. So that they will know that their support makes a huge difference and it means so much. Thank you!Harriet. N. Okumu [email protected]

Book Description
Schools, today, are in the midst of the most major, costly educational reform movement in their history as they grapple with the federal mandates to leave no children behind, says author Susan B. Neuman, former Assistant Secretary for Elementary and Secondary Education under President George W. Bush. Although some efforts for investing resources will be substantially more productive than others, there is little evidence that, despite many heroic attempts to beat the odds, any of these efforts will close more than a fraction of the differences in achievement for poor minority children and their middleclass peers. As Neuman explains in this insightful, revealing book, schools will fail, not due to the soft bigotry of low expectations, but because there are multitudes of children growing up in circumstances that make them highly vulnerable. Children who come to school from dramatically unequal circumstances leave school with similarly unequal skills and abilities. In these pages, however, Neuman shows how the odds can be changed, how we can break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage for children at risk After laying the critical groundwork for the need for change—excessive waste with little effect—this book provides a vivid portrait of changing the odds for high-poverty children. Describing how previous reforms have missed the mark, it offers a framework based on seven essential principles for implementing more effective programs and policies. Building on successes while being fiscally responsible is a message that has been shown to have wide bipartisan appeal, embraced by both liberals and conservatives. Following Neuman's essential principles, chapters describe programs for changing the odds for children, when the cognitive gaps are beginning to form, in these earliest years of their lives. In a highly readable style, Neuman highlights programs that are making a difference in children's lives across the country, weaving together narratives that tell a compelling story of hope and promise for our most disadvantaged children.
