Book Synopsis
Based on a true family story, this inspiring picture book about the Armenian Genocide shares an often-overlooked history and honors the resilience of the Armenian people.

What is it like to walk away from your home? To leave behind everything and everyone you''ve ever known? Poetic, sensitive, and based on a true family history, Lost Words follows a young Armenian boy from the day he sets out to find refuge to the day he finally finds the courage to share his story.

It is difficult to find the words to describe the type of loss a Genocide can cause to a young child. I''ve been looking for something similar for my own son. This picture book is a good start to help explain loss and raise the many questions necessary to start the conversation.-Serj Tankian, activist, artist, and lead vocalist for System of a Down

INTERGENERATIONAL CONNECTION: This story is a reassuring testament to the bond between parent and child, and the love people pass
