DESCRIPTION
A remarkable book for encouraging self- reflectionIn this empathetic book, a young girl wonders what life would be like if she lived somewhere else. What if she lived in a city with millions of people? What would it be like to be a refugee from a war-torn country? Is she meant to be in a different place? Or is she right where she's supposed to be?
Stirring and impactful, this book will cause readers to ponder life's big questions and have a better understanding of their place in the world.
