I LOVED THIS BOOK. The writing is gorgeous and left me with chills multiple times. Jude is such a complex character and I can’t wait to introduce her to my incoming class of 5th graders.

What a moving story. Jude is such a complex, compassionate, and brave young girl and her story as an immigrant from Syria deserves to be told.

Addressing racism and islamophobia, as well as the sacrifice inherent in leaving your country in search of safety, Other Words for Home gives voice to a much needed perspective in Western literature.

I highly recommend for readers of all ages.
