(3) K-3 Illustrated by Irene Luxbacher. Malaika's (Malaika's Costume) Mummy returns to the Caribbean with her French Canadian fiancé and his daughter. When the mixed-race family returns to Québec, Malaika has trouble adapting to her new sister, climate, and school, and the winter carnival is nothing like Carnival back home. Video-chatting with Grandma helps Malaika embrace her situation. Mixed-media illustrations vibrantly capture both settings and the blended family's love. Glos.
