About This Book

When a family must leave everything behind, a young girl holds onto the most portable thing she has - her stories. Inspired by illustrator Rashin Kheiriyeh's childhood during the Iran-Iraq war, this lyrical picture book explores how storytelling can carry us through even the most difficult journeys.

Why We Love This

A deeply moving book about resilience and the power of stories, with vibrant illustrations that turn hardship into something beautiful and hopeful.
