Love, love, loved this book about a young girl from Syria, and her experience moving to America.

A sweet book about a girl from Syria who comes with her mom to America to escape the war. She slowly finds her voice and who she is. My only hesitation with this book is the discussion of mensuration. While I know it is reality, when thinking of having young boys read this, it is going to be a tough point to get past with them.
