Summary

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to grow up in Africa? In Lois J. Peterson's book, The Paper House, we meet ten-year-old Safiyah, who lives in a slum outside of Nairobi, Kenya. Life is hard for Safiya, but she enjoys looking at colourful magazine pictures. She begins to use the paper clippings to create a beautiful mural on the outside of her house, and it soon brings joy to all who see it.
