Beautifully written--an evocative story of resilience, family love, and finding hope in a new beginning.

A new pet helps a refugee family find a sense of safety and home in this charming novel, based on the co-author's own experience.

Nine-year-old Roya, her three brothers, and their parents have finally been granted permission to stay in the Netherlands after a long, arduous journey from Afghanistan. To celebrate their new stability, they bring home Mishka, a fluffy, white dwarf rabbit.

Roya, who was only three when her family fled Kabul, finds a special confidant in Mishka. As her family members recount their journey, from their reasons for leaving to their long stay in refugee centers, Mishka's presence gently prompts Roya to process her own scattered memories and the complex emotions of starting over in an unfamiliar world.

This lyrical story weaves together moments of humor, joy, and sadness, illuminating the disorienting effects of the refugee experience through a gentle, child's-eye view.

A critically acclaimed novel, perfect for readers in grades 3-5 (ages 7-10).
