Book Synopsis

A stunning new picture book from Onjali Q. Raúf and Pippa Curnick, the creative duo behind the bestselling and award-winning The Boy at the Back of the Class.

There''s a new girl in my class. She has eyes as wide and as golden as a tiger''s, a face as pale as a glass of milk, and hair as shiny as a mirror. I''d like to be her friend. But she never wants to play with me in the playground or make sandcastles in the sandpit.

The cleverest people I know say that the new girl is sad because she had to leave her home, her family, her school, her toys, her books and all her friends too.

But I''ve got a plan! There''s something I can do to make her feel better when she''s missing everything she''s left behind . . .

With bold, beautiful artwork by Pippa Curnick, this heartfelt story about the power of friendship and kindness shows young readers what steps they can take to make refugee children feel welcome.
