Synopsis:
This wordless book tells the story of a family forced to flee war. After a long journey, the family gets a new home. The book’s stunning images, in vibrant colours, leave room for interpretation. The strenght of this wordless book is that the immigrant child does not feel excluded by the foreign text, but can read the book on an equal footing with everyone else, and anyone can experience what it is like to leave home.
