About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a complex cultural identity or feeling like an outsider after a big move. It is especially helpful for children who feel 'different' because of their family history or heritage. Eva Fischer moves to the snowy Australian mountains during the 1950s, a time of massive change and engineering marvels. As the daughter of a German immigrant in the post-WWII era, Eva must navigate the tension between her family's past and her new life. The story explores themes of belonging, the weight of history, and the excitement of discovering new cultures and landscapes. It is a gentle yet profound look at how we define 'home' and ourselves in a world that is constantly shifting. Ideal for readers aged 9 to 13, it offers a window into how resilience is built through community and self-acceptance.
