(3) 4-6 Amiha, whose mother has leprosy, has spent her whole life on beautiful, isolated Culion (a real-life leper colony in the Philippines). When the government removes healthy children to prevent spread of the disease, Ami is sent to a neighboring island, where she makes a friend but pines for her ailing mother. An emotional, memorable read with timely statements on prejudice and family separation. Includes an author's note.
