An uplifting story about finding your way in a new and unfamiliar place, and a reminder to others to be kind, patient and welcoming to those finding their feet.
“I will light your way, until you find the sun again…”
Aminah’s life is full of warmth and joy, from days spent in the golden sunshine eating juicy mangoes, to evenings curled up reading adventure stories with her grandfather, Da.
But one day, Aminah’s told she’ll be leaving with her parents for their very own adventure, one that will take her away from Da and the sunny comforts of the life she’s known.
Though change can be scary and her new home is much colder, Aminah soon begins to realise that no matter how far she is from Da, she’ll always be able to feel his warmth in her heart . . .
The perfect story to encourage conversations about coping with change and finding ways to stay connected to the ones we love, no matter the distance. Written by debut author Maryam Hassan, with stunning illustrations by Anna Wilson.
