About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking difficult questions about news headlines or when they show a budding curiosity about why people leave their homes to find safety elsewhere. This wordless masterpiece uses a cast of vibrant, expressive animals to tell the story of a group of travelers facing an arduous journey across land and sea. It deals gently but honestly with the reality of loss and the persistence of hope. While the black backgrounds and the presence of a skeletal figure representing Death may seem intense, the animal characters provide a layer of safety for younger readers. It is an ideal choice for parents who want to foster deep empathy and global awareness. Because there are no words, you can adjust the depth of the conversation based on your child's maturity, making it a versatile tool for discussing resilience and the shared human experience of seeking a place to belong.
