Produktbeschreibung

"A joyful, wildly imaginative book" -The New York Times It's Rashin's first day of school in America! Everything is a different shape than what she's used to: from the foods on her breakfast plate to the letters in the books! And the kids' families are from all over! The new teacher asks each child to imagine the shape of home on a map. Rashin knows right away what she'll say: Iran looks like a cat! What will the other kids say? What about the country YOUR family is originally from? Is it shaped like an apple? A boot? A torch? Open this book to join Rashin in discovering the true things that shape a place called home. P R A I S E ★ "A creative, child-centered picture book about finding a new home after immigration. Ebulliently illustrated." -Kirkus (starred) ★ "It's hard to find a more joyful take on the first day of school in a new country than that found in Kheiriyeh's new work." -School Library Journal (starred) ★ "Exuberant...A warm and welcoming story about a group of children who may have come from other places but have found a classroom that is 'shaped like a home.'" -Booklist (starred)
