a very important read! the first hand tale of what it's like to leave your home country and everything you love and are proud of there and be transplanted into another country where nobody understands you, is racist and violent, and you experience poverty - told through the voice and narration of a child. So good!

Beautiful work. Truly beautiful. Nayeri has a way of storytelling that makes you involved as a listener. His stories are moving, inspiring, and full of hope, despite their sad substance. Highly recommend this book.
