Garriga, Carme / Giménez, Anna (text) Giménez, Anna (et. al.) (photos) Ostelinda. Jo vinc de tot arreu (Ostelinda. I come from everywhere) Barcelona: Galera, 1998. 31pp (LaGalera jo vinc de ... ; 1) ISBN 84-246-9351-5 Roma/Catalonia This book is one title in the exemplary information book series („I come from...“), in which texts and abundant photographs offer a useful first glimpse into the life and customs of different countries - as seen through the eyes of a child who lives there and tells of his own everyday life. A notable feature of this book is that the girl belongs to the Roma, a people who are at home in many countries and are often marginalized and stigmatized. This book deserves praise in particular for showing clearly that Ostelinda is above all a child like any other. (7+)
