She found this by chance. Summary from amazon.com. Sounded like a good and easy read (32 pages) and she will get it for her little one. Hopefully this is available in her sunny island.
There is much to be grateful for in life, and much that all have taken for granted. Books like these nourish the soul, and feed the young (and adult!) minds with gratitude.
Alemitu lives with her mother in a poor village in Ethiopia, where she must walk miles for water and hunger roars in her belly. Even though life is difficult, she dreams of someday knowing more about the world. When her mother has no choice but to leave her at an orphanage to give her a chance at a better life, an American family adopts Alemitu. She becomes Eva in her new home in America, and although her life there is better in so many ways, she’ll never forget her homeland and the mother who gave up so much for her. Told through the lens that water connects all people everywhere, this eye-opening, emotional story will get readers thinking about the world beyond their own.
