Little Princes



Child trafficking...a subject that makes all of us uncomfortable, I'm sure. Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal tells the story of Conor Grennan and his quest to find the homes of the children from an orphanage in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu. This story is both heart-breaking and uplifting. One cannot help but love the children and hope that Conor will succeed in his mission. Want to find out how it ends? Well, I suggest you read the book. :-)





Why I picked it up: Because we have so Nepalese students, I thought I might learn a bit more about their culture.



Why I finished it: The resilience of the children drew me in and I really wanted to see if they were able to be reunited with their families.



I'd give it to: My niece who has such a soft heart and would immediately want to fly to Nepal and bring all those children home.
