About this product
Product Information
Empathy and perseverance take center stage in this sweet picture book about a boy's love for his (unusual) pet. Raja had always wanted to have a pet like the happy kids in his school books did. But most yard animals in India worked. They weren't for play. Nevertheless, when Raja stumbled upon a scared, baby camel, he took him home and made him his own pet. But it wasn't long before there were smashed pots! Broken fences! And a big mess everywhere! Kamal was a wild camel with wild ways! Raja's father was not pleased. "We don't have time for camels. We're too busy herding goats," he warned. Raja loved his new pet but his father is fed up with the mess and determined to sell him at the next fair. Will Raja find a way to keep Kamal or will they lose each other forever? This tale of unconditional love and hope is sure to enchant any child! With illustrations that detail the bright colors of India and the Thar Desert, Raja's Pet Camel by Anita Nahta Amin carries the key message of perseverance, tradition and love supported by the many advocates of positive parenting solutions. It'll sit comfortably on your shelf alongside other books that focus on overcoming obstacles and focusing on hope in the name of love, like the work of Gaia Cornwall (Jabari Jumps) and Adir Levy (What Should Danny Do?). This book comes with a free Reader's Guide for children available for free download from the publisher website. Lesson plans on nouns and verbs, activities and discussion questions allow parents, teachers and caregivers to explore the book further and deepen comprehension.

Reviews
"The exotic setting of Rajasthan, which is located in the Thar desert in northwest India, exposes readers to a different culture. The pictures accurately depict life in Rajasthan. This read-together book shows readers that people from different cultures have strikingly familiar emotional and familial similarities." -- City Book Review, "A thoroughly charming and wonderfully fun picture book for children ages 5-8, Raja's Pet Camel: The Magic of Hope by author/storyteller Anita Nahla Amin and artist/illustrator Parwnder Singh will prove to be an enduringly popular addition to family, daycare center, preschool, elementary school, and community library collections for young readers." --C hildren's Bookwatch, After school one day, Raja befriends a baby camel that follows him home.A wary Bapu agrees to allow the camel to stay until they can find the animal a permanent home. Delighted, Raja is hopeful that he can convince his father to allow Kamal to stay with them forever. Unfortunately, however, Kamal is "a wild camel with wild ways" and becomes so destructive and disruptive that Bapu insists on selling the camel at an upcoming fair. In a last-ditch effort to keep Kamal, Raja tries to train his new pet to participate in the annual camel race, thinking that if Kamal wins the large cash prize, Bapu will change his mind and allow the animal to stay. But at the fair and the race, Kamal misbehaves again, making it impossible for Bapu to sell her. The book's ending is more of a cliffhanger than a real conclusion to its meandering plot, and readers are left guessing whether or not Raja will keep Kamal forever. The illustrations are equally confusing, pairing mostly turbaned, traditionally dressed adults with a bareheaded protagonist clad in button-down shirt and shorts. The only women depicted appear in the occasional background. The book ends with "10 Facts About the Thar Desert in India" that are both exoticizing and overgeneralized, consistently referring to "Indian" practice and tradition despite the geographically specific heading.Both disorienting and disappointing.
