In this moving picture book, inspired by the authors experience as a Syrian refugee, a child''s profound love for his family''s apple tree gives him courage when he must flee his homeland.
When a young boy asks his parents why he doesnt have a brother or sister, his mother replies that on the day he was born, they planted an apple tree in their front yard. The apple tree is your sister, she says. At night, the boy wraps a blanket around his sister''s trunk and during the day he shares all of his secrets with her. One day, they see helicopters in the sky and his parents tell him they must flee. But how can he leave his sister behind? Instead he digs her up and carries her away from their homeland. When they arrive to a new place, the air is colder and the ground is hard. Home feels so far away. But as his sister grows taller and her branches blossom, the boy realizes that he will always be connected to his homeland, even as he begins to embrace his new one.
This moving and hopeful refugee story is written by Syrian activist Jamal Saeed and co-written by acclaimed poet Jordan Scott. Illustrated by award-winning artist Zahra Marwan, who drew inspiration from her own immigration from Kuwait, this gorgeous book reminds readers that nothing is left behind forever.
