Wow, this book is powerful! Adnan is a child hoping to help their mommy remember. They’ve had devastation in their life as they are refugees. They have lost their family and now it’s just a Dan and Mom. Mom is sad and Adnan is sure if he can rebuild illustrations of their own life then he can bring his mom back around to happiness. This book is absolutely heartbreaking and absolutely beautiful. It’s a book. I’m sure there are many children that need to feel seen in whatever their new environment may be.
