Trade Review“An ode to the courage and resilience exhibited by refugee immigrants, inspired by the author’s own experiences…. The narrative is conveyed in brief yet lyrical lines, every word resonating with purpose and meaning. The comparison of a blooming dandelion with the immigrant experience beautifully illustrates the strength, versatility, and ability to thrive in harsh conditions each exemplifies.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “A testimony to one immigrant’s positive outlook on America and the home she found.” — Booklist
