Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga
5.0

I am so thankful our children's librarian is going out of her way to buy books with diverse characters. This story about Jude, a refugee from Syria, is written in verse...which I think works well for her story. It's just a peek into her life and experiences leaving her home and half of her family, but she grows and changes others around her with her positivity.
