Farah is the new kid in her classroom and she can’t speak or understand much English yet. Everything is new and she seems so different from the other kids. Even though her parents encourage her that this move will be good in the end, she misses her old home. On a field trip, she starts to see ways that the sounds here in the new place are similar to ones back home and she takes the first steps towards making friends and learning English.
This book would be great for TCKs learning a new language or going to a new school for the first time. Though it seems more aimed at immigrant families than TCKs there is a lot of overlap.
Reading level: age 5 to 9 years
