"With its warm palette and gentle scenes of the worried child being comforted, this book could function as a sequel to Sanna's astounding debut picture book,
The Journey
, which recounted a family's dangerous flight from their home in a war zone. Sanna provides an empathetic exploration of the adjustment to a new land that all migrants experience."

, this book about an immigrant’s experiences tackles a tough topic with honesty, empathy, and a sense of hopefulness.”—
