Used Book – Bury the Moon, Andrée Poulin, Sonali Zohra

In Latika's village in India, there are no toilets. You have to wait until night to go to the fields to relieve yourself. No toilets means a lot of microbes that cause diseases. For girls, it also means stopping school once they reach adolescence.

In a village in rural India, Latika, a brave and determined little girl, takes advantage of a government representative's visit to try to make one of her dreams come true: to have public toilets built that would allow her to attend school, even after puberty.

This novel in free verse features a strong heroine and sensitively exposes the effects of the lack of sanitation facilities on women's lives in certain parts of the world.
