Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This slim, sweet story will resonate particularly with children missing a previous home. * Kirkus Reviews *
Velasquez’s light-infused illustrations capture the quiet dignity of Emaye’s grief and Eva’s tentative acceptance, and perfectly complement the tender tone of the text... This book can be read as one of a growing number of immigration stories. * Booklist *
Beautifully illustrated oil paintings bring the words to life... This would be a good resource to use while doing cultural studies, especially with younger students. * Library Media Connection *
Provides an opportunity for addressing themes of poverty and resource inequity with a very young audience. The perspective is spot-on, and the presentation of Alemitu’s culture shock is realistically detailed. Velasquez’s lush full-bleed oil compositions offer photorealistic portraits of the story’s characters... Raises some important talking points for young listeners as well as some thoughtful reminders to appreciate easy access to food and water. * BCCB *
