They (and I) love learning about this people group who labor so hard, producing such beauty, but at a great price. The illustrations are lovely, but, even more than that, the characterizations and descriptions capture the lifestyles of these girls and the women in their lives. I thank Gloria Whelan for writing this book and the entire series of books to instruct all of us on information most of us do not know. A terrific book to own and share! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good illustrations too *by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 24, 2014* It's an eye opening book about the life situation of others in other parts of the world. Good illustrations too. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Audience for this story *by D***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 28, 2011* The previous reviewer gave a good overview of this story. The series would seem to be a wonderful idea: tell about the daily life of a child in a particular culture as expressed by the child's feelings. As mentioned, the author notes an organization which seeks to "end illegal child labor...and offer educational opportunities to the children of South Asia. The child's voice makes clear that she sees and appreciates all the care and beauty of her family and community. The illustrations are lovely: bright colors that are softly rendered.Who is the best audience for this story, one of longing for the freedoms of childhood, and the promise of school? I believe older children (perhaps especially girls) who have become aware of the inequities of experience for children in the world. This is a book to be read with or by an adult who is ready with a both an appreciation of the child's life and and explanation of why this delightful young girl has such a difficult daily life with little hope for her future. She says, "...the shadow of the loom is the largest shadow of all. It hovers over us like a dark ghost..." and, "...my fingers bleed after making many knots..... I don't cry but my mother does..." I could imagine a 10 year-old reader wanting to do something to help such children and an adult ready to help with a plan would be the best reader.I give it 4 stars, but it is a book for adult responsibility. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8416431-waiting-for-the-owls-call-tales-of-the-world](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/8416431-waiting-for-the-owls-call-tales-of-the-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
