Product Description:
Meet Mina-a bold, funny, and big-hearted 8-year-old girl from Angola whose journey as a refugee takes her across continents, cultures, and some very questionable airplane food. In this heartwarming and hilarious story, Mina navigates the chaos of moving to a new country with her trusty sidekick Captain Luggage, a suitcase with a lot of personality.
From saying goodbye to her rooster, Senhor Pecks-a-Lot, to decoding the mysteries of English idioms (It's raining cats and dogs? Really?!), Mina faces the ups and downs of starting over with courage and humor. Whether she's teaching her classmates the Kuduro dance, battling homesickness, or surviving the Stomp Squad upstairs neighbors, Mina shows us that home isn't just a place-it's where your heart and story live.
Perfect for readers ages 6-9, Mina Moves Mountains (and Sometimes Mattresses) is a funny, empowering, and culturally rich book that helps kids explore themes of identity, resilience, and what it means to belong.
