The Girl Who Smiled Beads: A Story of War and What Comes After by Clemantine Wamariya

4.0

Fascinating story of surviving as a child through horrific circumstances.

She is successful but still broken. I think of my refugee students, my children from foster care, my kids who have suffered loss at these younger ages, the other kids I know who have survived these situations. The kids in border tent camps. How will they heal? How will they find joy?

4* because the writing was immature or stilted.
