I AM KAVI

Reading Group Guide with Discussion Questions About the Story and About The Sri Lankan Civil War

★★★THE REVIEWS ARE IN!★★★

“A serious and relatable tale of everyday life intersecting with and diverging from the realities of war.”—Kirkus Reviews

“A stirring novel in verse, traces a 10-year-old’s desire to fit in. . . . Amid a historical setting informed by classism, colorism, and colonization, short reflective phrases and vivid cultural details bring out the nuanced story’s emotional depth and show the devastating impact of war on Kavi and her loved ones.”—Publishers Weekly
