Yasmin's Hammer
Review
By The Horn Book Guide
In Bangladesh, young Yasmin and her little sister, Mita, must work hard wielding their hammers, breaking old clay bricks into pieces to make new roads. Yasmin earns enough extra money to buy a book and convinces her parents of the importance of reading and education. Rich-hued oil paintings show the busy city streets of Dhaka and the family’s small home.
