Reflection of Morning Girl

Dorris, Michael. (1992). Morning Girl. America. UOP.        

Morning Girl is a young Taino girl who 'dreams too hard' at night, and therefore wakes early every morning. This early waking is why her family calls her Morning Girl; and she loves the beginning of the day, she said, 'If the day starts before you do, you never catch up.' One of the lovely things about this young girl is what she says about her approach to treading on the world: 'I try to step lightly on the path so the sounds I make will blend into the rustle of the world.' She also goes on to say, 'You'll see more if you're quiet.' Star Boy is different than his sister: he likes the night. His sister says he see's everything so upside down.

I like the cover, but too dominant white color. The cover only decrypt his sister ‘Morning Girl’. A peaceful, tropical world is the setting for Morning Girl, a simple yet rich glimpse into the lives of a young sister and brother.

Reading this book reminds about my sister and me that almost fight everyday.  No matter how often we quarreled, we are still need each other and love each other. Even we have an unique character, she still my sister, and i still her little sister. Anyway, this is an interesting novel to read. This simple tale of belonging and family will inspire readers of all ages.
