Review by Barbara Bair, Ph.D.
“This is wonderful…! …[T]hank you for making the world brighter and reminding us we are in a global world all together—one where sheltering place is not an option for everyone, and refugees are in special need, whether they are our neighbors or somewhere in their journeys in these difficult times…We can only think of kids and families in refugee camps in Europe or at our own border who have yet to get to the four beds or hearts stage. Thank you for raising consciousness about their dreams and desires… It is an excellent book to have in school libraries, to help kids born here to understand better some of the things their new schoolmates or neighbors have gone through.”
Review by Kenneth Roth, HRW
