An evocative picture book debut that tells the true story of the authors immigration from Kuwait to the United States.
Zahra lives in a beautiful place where the desert reaches all the way to the sea and one hundred butterflies always fill the sky. When Baba and Mama tell her that their family is no longer welcome here and they must leave, Zahra wonders if she will ever feel at home againand what about the people she will leave behind? But when she and her family arrive in a new desert, shes surprised to find magic all around her. Home might not be as far away as she thought it would be.
With spare, moving text and vivid artwork, Zahra Marwan tells the true story of her and her familys immigration from Kuwait, where they were considered stateless, to New Mexico, where together they made a new home.
Utterly original and enjoyable from start to finish. Betsy Bird, librarian, book critic, and author of Long Road to the Circus
