Iqbal

Francesco D'Adamo

Oxford University Press, USA

For the unseen children of Hussain Khan's carpet factory, Iqbal Masih's arrival is the end of hope and its beginning. It is Iqbal who tells them that their family's debt will never be cancelled, no matter how many inches of rug they make. But it is also Iqbal who is brave enough to talk about the future. This is the story of a courageous thirteen-year-old boy who knew that his life was worth more than a rug, that chaining children to work on looms was not right, and that there was a way to stop the abuse.  Available only in The Literacy Bridge 5.
