Prairie Lotus – Audiobook Online By: Linda Sue Park

Prairie Lotus is a powerful, moving, multilayered audiobook about a girl determined to fit in and fulfill her dreams: to get an education, become a seamstress in her father’s shop, and make a few friends at least one person.

Renowned, award-winning author Linda Sue Park placed a young half-Asian girl, Hanna, in a small town in central America, in 1880. Hanna’s adaptation to the environment. New surroundings, mainly meant to negotiate the townsfolk’s near-unanimous biases towards Asians, are at the heart of the story. Told from Hanna’s point of view, the novel has moments of poignancy but still sparkles with humour, introducing a captivating heroine whose witty, witty voice will resonate with listeners.

Afterword:

“Little House fans will find plenty of little satisfaction in Laura’s stories…there’s a lot here. However, Park brings new depth to these oppressive stories as she clearly embodies both the xenophobia of the town’s white residents, which range from transgression to full-blown assault and Hanna’s battle to overcome it with empathy and dignity…. Remarkable.” (Kirkus, star rating)

As Native Americans, my children and I greatly appreciate the respect for the indigenous characters in this book. They honor their language, their customs and give them a more practical personality than theatrical. All other aspects of this book have clearly been well thought out and researched. I am very proud to distribute this audiobook to my children. They are enthralled with the whole story! Thanks for this beautiful view, Linda Sue Park.

The poignant story of a half-Asian girl going through prejudice in a small town in America in 1880. The author clearly shows all the bad ways people manifest themselves, bigotry and hatred, from expelling her child from the school the girl attended to blatant physical abuse. The girl wanted to be a seamstress in her father’s shop, so there were a lot of descriptions of fabrics and sewing techniques, which I’m not sure guys would appreciate.
