Genre: Realistic Fiction
Quote: "Mita and I crouch on the ground. We swing our hammers- chipping, cracking, crushing, smashing. Bricks fly into bits. Red dust fills the air and sticks in my throat."

"Yasmin's Hammer"is a story about a girl that longs to go to school and learn to real. Yasmin and her sister do child labor instead of attending school. They work at as brick chippers to make money for their family. I love the picture of breaking up the brick that Ann Malaspina paints with her words.
