 Lubna lives with her father and brothers in a world of tents. Her best friend is a shiny, smooth, gray pebble. She draws a happy face on it and keeps it warm wrapped in a tea towel in a shoebox. She tells the pebble about home, the war, and that she loves it. Soon, a little boy arrives. At first, he has no words. He coughs, sneezes, smiles, and says his name is Amir. Lubna and Amir become friends. One day, Lubna’s daddy announces that they are leaving because they have found a home. Lubna feels happy, then sad. Amir cries. Lubna gives Amir her pebble. He needs it more than she does. Larger-than-life, stunning illustrations complement this powerful story. mjw |
