This was a joy to read. I finished it in a single evening. To the person reading this review, read this book.
I was immediately drawn to this book's cover, and the quote, "This is a necessary story," solidified my purchase. I experienced many tears, a bit of laughter, and the warmth of home in many forms through inspiring, thought-provoking verse.
The story tackles heavy subjects (Islamophobia, xenophobia, war). Through Jude's eyes, these subjects are handled gracefully and treated with care.
