Niles-Maine District Library

KidSpace Program Room

Join us for pizza and a great book discussion. Get a copy of Sarah Crossan's The Weight of Water at the KidSpace desk to read and discuss for our Coming Together celebration of Polish culture.

Kasienka and her mother are immigrating to England from Poland. Her mom is in search of her dad, who abandoned the two of them and left for a new life. Kasienka isn't sure they will find him, or a new life for themselves, but things have an interesting way of working out. This story told in verse is a quick read, but explores immigration, alienation, and love.

Pick up a copy of the book at the KidSpace desk, or use your library card to check out the eBook from Axis360.
