Sabri loves to draw. She draws wherever
she can. On the floor
of the hut with rough chalk, or with her one
and only pencil on
paper from old notebooks. She draws her world –
the sun
coming up from behind the hills, her Ayti and Baba
and
little
Chakuli crawling, the chicken, the goats. . .
Then one day in
school
she sees long colour pencils, and paint that comes out
of
bottles. After that it
isn't enough for her to draw – she longs
to
fill the pictures with colour.
Sabri's Colours captures
the poignancy of Sabri's yearning
with skill
and understatement.
While it tugs at the heart, the
young girl's spirit and
determination
to get what is out of her
reach is powerful and
inspiring. The
strong lines and colours
of the pictures beautifully
illustrate the mood of the story.
