About this deal

Keira Hulihan has taught preschool and elementary-age children for over two years in science, English and other subjects with some experience in lesson planning for middle and high school levels. Reunited with her mother and sisters, she has been living in a village where her mother managed to open a school for girls. Daily life is filled with peril, from beatings and the threat of imprisonment and worse by the Taliban to the fear of accidentally stepping on a land mine. This quote helps illustrate in better detail just how limited women's power and agency had become after the Taliban took control.

Unfortunately, Homa tells them that the town Mother and Nooria went to in Pakistan has also been taken over by the Taliban. This book serves not only to make us, as kids, aware of this difficult topic, but also spurs us to want to get involved.Something that was supposedly meant to protect them only stripped them of their freedoms, and many men took advantage of that. The novel was followed by four sequels, Parvana's Journey in 2002, Mud City in 2003, My Name is Parvana in 2012 and One More Mountain in 2022. Weera is a women's rights activist and former gym teacher who is a friend of Parvana's family and is a welcome presence in the household. When Parvana asks about Shauzia’s family, Shauzia says she knows leaving her family makes her a bad person, but she’ll die if she stays. The first book in Deborah Ellis’s riveting Breadwinner series is an award-winning novel about loyalty, survival, families and friendship under extraordinary circumstances during the Taliban’s rule in Afghanistan in the late 1990s.

She leaves along with her mother and younger siblings, but Parvana stays as she looks like a boy and her appearance will be difficult to explain.

The Breadwinner" is about 11-year-old Parvana and the risks she takes to help provide for her family after the Taliban takes control of Afghanistan. DEBORAH ELLIS is the author of the international bestseller The Breadwinner, which has been published in twenty-five languages. On a military base in post-Taliban Afghanistan, American authorities have just imprisoned a teenaged girl found in a bombed-out school.

When they get home, Parvana realizes that Mother’s feet are bleeding—she hasn’t been out since the Taliban arrived. Under federal law, if you knowingly misrepresent that online material is infringing, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. Families can talk about why the Taliban restricts women's education and movement, as described in The Breadwinner. Compare and contrast two or more characters, settings, or events in a story or drama, drawing on specific details in the text (e. Throughout the book we meet a handful of unique characters like Nooria, Father, Shauzia, Mother, Hossain, the Window Woman and Mrs.Like Father, Mother has a university education, but she is no longer allowed to work because of the Taliban's rules. Because women are not allowed out of the house without a related male, the family is left without a source of income. Parvana and her family are very close, and the Taliban, since taking power, have worked to sow distrust and suspicion amongst people and their neighbors.

Eleven-year-old Parvana lives in Kabul, Afghanistan, under the Taliban, and this multicultural middle school book shows us what life is like when they're in power.

She is donating the royalties from this book to Women for Women in Afghanistan, dedicated to improving the lives of women there. When she and Father are preparing to leave Kabul, Parvana uproots some wildflowers and replants them in the marketplace where she and her father would set up their stand. This went on for about three years before I finally had enough of this and purchased the Breadwinner. Though Parvana’s family used to be well off, the constant bombing of Kabul over the last 20 years has made her family increasingly poorer. During a 2011 visit to Kabul, Ellis (the Breadwinner trilogy) recorded the stories of 27 Afghan children, represented in this stirring collection.
