Read this for the VRC this year!
This was a beautiful book! I listened to it on audio and I really enjoyed the reader. I loved how we got to see the cultural shift from moving from Syria to Cincinnati, and how they come to find home there. And I learned more about the cultural meanings behind certain traditions were so that was awesome too!

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.
