Saoussan n'avait que sept ans lorsqu'elle a quitté le Liban, déchiré par la guerre, avec sa famille. Cet album illustré raconte comment elle a dû s'adapter à sa nouvelle vie au Canada. Elle décrit ses frustrations: celle de ne pas comprendre son enseignante lorsqu'elle a commencé l'école, celle de ne pas savoir comment demander à aller aux toilettes et celle d'être terrifiée par un squelette d'Halloween. C'est le livre idéal pour aider les jeunes à comprendre d'autres enfants issu-es de l'immigration dont les expériences sont très similaires à celles de Saoussan.When Saoussan immigrated with her family from war-torn Lebanon, she was only seven years old. This picture book tells the story of how she had to adjust to her new home in Canada. She describes the frustration of not understanding the teacher when she started school, not knowing how to ask to go to the bathroom, and being terrified of a Halloween skeleton. This is the perfect book to help kids empathize with immigrant children whose experiences are very similar to Saoussan's.
