Maggie the Magic Carpet and the Giving Girl

This children’s book is inspired by Melinda Gates’ book, ‘The Moment of Lift – How Empowering Women Changes the World.’ It paints a picture of a young girl, living in poverty, and her difficulties gaining educational opportunities because her time is spent in unpaid labor. But it also contains a message of hope and reward for working hard and giving to others. If you want a book for your family that teaches valuable lessons about different cultures, places, and socioeconomic realities, this is the book to add to your collection. Wawira lives in Kenya. She works hard to help her Mom and her brothers and sisters. And she doesn’t complain, even though it means she can’t go to school. When she meets a Magic Carpet, she gets an unexpected reward – and learns what it really means to rise above and fly high.
