Drawing Deena by Hena Khan (Contemporary)
Drawing Deena by Hena Khan
It is frustrating to Deena that her mom always seems to be fighting with her dad about money. It makes her worried that they might split up, and it makes her feel like she can never ask for anything - like the art classes she would love to take. She thinks if she can come up with a plan to help her mom's business make more money then perhaps that will solve things and she won't have to worry quite so much - because it turns out, the worrying isn't good for Deena.
Recommended for grades 6 and up.
