| | Synopsis
|
When Saoussan immigrated with her family from war-torn Beirut in
Lebanon, she was only seven years old. This picture book tells the
story of how she had to adjust to her new home in Canada. She
describes the frustration of not understanding the teacher when she
started school, not knowing how to ask to go to the bathroom, and
being terrified of a paper skeleton. This is a picture book version
of a true story. At the end of the book, readers will find "A note
from Saoussan today".
