Story Boat

When you have to leave behind almost everything you know where can you call home? Sometimes home is simply where we are: here. An imaginative lyrical unforgettable picture book about the migrant experience through a child's eyes.. When a little girl and her younger brother are forced along with their family to flee the home they've always known they must learn to make a new home for themselves -- wherever they are. And sometimes the smallest things -- a cup a blanket a lamp a flower a story -- can become a port of hope in a terrible storm. As the refugees travel onward toward an uncertain future they are buoyed up by their hopes dreams and the stories they tell -- a story that will carry them perpetually forward.. This timely sensitively told story written by multiple award--winner Kyo Maclear and illustrated by Sendak Fellowship recipient Rashin Kheiriyeh introduces very young readers in a gentle non-frightening and ultimately hopeful way to the current refugee crisis.
