04 Mar / Silent Lotus by Jeanne M. Lee [in What Do I Read Next? Multicultural Literature]

Silent LotusBeautiful Lotus is unable to hear or speak. Ostracized by the other children, she is lonely and sad. Her parents take her to the local temple where she sees temple dancers for the first time. Through the dance and movement, she learns to communicate and becomes a famous royal court dancer. Vietnamese-born Lee brings to life the thousand-year-old tradition of the Cambodian court ballet.
