The Education Team is pleased to announce The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré as the sixth annual Summer Global Book Read, as part of the Global Issues Book Discussion Series. From the book jacket (Penguin Random House):
The remarkable, inspiring story of a teenage girl [Adunni] growing up in a rural Nigerian village who longs to get an education so that she can find her ‘louding voice’ and speak up for herself. The Girl with the Louding Voice is a simultaneously heartbreaking and trimphant novel about the power of fighting for your dreams.
We invite you to read along with us this summer and then join us on World Literacy Day (Wednesday, September 8) at 7:00 PM CET for a conversation with author Abi Daré to discuss her debut novel and the role that literacy has played in her life, as well as the role of literacy in the world at large. Registration information is on the FAWCO calendar at this link. As you read, please feel free to submit any questions or discussion points to the Education Team by emailing us at .
