A review by dobbsthedog
Salma Makes a Home by Danny Ramadan

I’m choosing to not give this a star rating because I really don’t know how to rate a fairly easy MG novel.

I am now making my way through Danny Ramadan’s kids books, because why not?  Despite the reading level of this book being quite low, Ramadan’s lovely way with words is still on full display.  

This book is about Salma, who is a newcomer to Canada, coming to Vancouver from Damascus, Syria.  I think it does a really great job of clearly explaining how difficult it can be for families who are leaving their home countries, especially when the whole family is not able to flee together.  

The illustrations throughout by Anna Bron are lovely and really bring the story to life.
