Description

When war arrives without warning, a young girl is torn from the life she knows and thrust into the terrifying uncertainty of becoming a refugee. Guided by small, human moments of courage and care, she navigates displacement, loss, and the fragile hope of finding safety. Blending vivid storytelling with a child’s perspective, the book explores themes of survival, resilience, and the enduring need for home and belonging. With Nicola Davies’s compassionate, accessible style, it offers a heartbreaking yet ultimately hopeful journey that invites readers to understand the real cost of conflict—and the power of kindness to endure it.
