Farah is the new girl at school and the dupatta covering her head makes her just a little different from the other students. Because she hasn't learned the English language yet, she knows that some people might not be very friendly. On the second day of school, the class takes a field trip to an apple orchard. Farah sees that some of the children want to become friends with her on the hay ride. When it comes time to make the apple cider, however, other classmates protest as she drops the only green apple into a vat full of ripe red ones. Will Farah's apple ruin the cider? Winner of the Golden Kite Award from the Society of Children's Book Writers, Eve Bunting warmly conveys the feelings of a young Muslim girl who faces a new school in a new country. Farah's fears and joys are deftly expressed in a eloquent reading by narrator Charlotte Parry. "This poignant, attractive offering fills a growing need for picture books about contemporary immigrants of Arab descent."-Booklist, starred review "[A] gentle story about being new and different, with the author delivering her message in her classically subtle style."-Kirkus Reviews

      On the second day in her new school in a new country, young Farah's class takes a field trip to an apple orchard. From the moment the children climb on the hay wagon and Farah sees that boys and girls are sitting together and that her jeans and T-shirt make her similar but her dupatta sets her apart, the listener knows that Farah's day will be filled with anxiety, as well as joy. Charlotte Parry's narration is superb. Her voice is even, but her emphasis on specific words and phrasing, as well as elongated pauses, underscores Farah's moments of frustration and feelings of being apart. The listener's intimate connection with the character of Farah is powerful. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
