<p><strong>Malaika¿s mother can¿t buy her a carnival costume ¿ will she still be able to dance in the parade?</strong></p><p>It¿s Carnival time. The first Carnival since Malaika¿s mother moved to Canada to find a good job and provide for Malaika and her grandmother. Her mother promised she would send money for a costume, but when the money doesn¿t arrive, will Malaika still be able to dance in the parade?</p><p>Disappointed and upset at her grandmother¿s hand-me-down costume, Malaika leaves the house, running into Ms. Chin, the tailor, who offers Malaika a bag of scrap fabric. With her grandmother¿s help, Malaika creates a patchwork rainbow peacock costume, and dances proudly in the parade.</p><p>A heartwarming story about family, community and the celebration of Carnival, Nadia Hohn¿s warm and colloquial language and Irene Luxbacher¿s vibrant collage-style illustrations make this a strikingly original picture book.</p><p><strong>Correlates to the Common Core State Standards in English
