"Wendy Meddour's story is written with great sensitivity. Presenting what for many immigrant families is a challenging time, she shows how with love, support, kindness and nature's healing power, the process of adjustment to a different life can begin. The richness and beauty of the natural world - real and remembered - is elegantly captured in Nabila Adani's misty illustrations and you can read the changing emotions in her portrayal of the two main characters."
