There used to be an empty chair at the back of Mrs. Khan's classroom, but on the third Tuesday of the school year a new kid fills it: nine-year-old Ahmet, a Syrian refugee.

The whole class is curious about this new boy--he doesn't seem to smile, and he doesn't talk much. But after learning that Ahmet fled a Very Real War and was separated from his family along the way, a determined group of his classmates bands together to concoct the Greatest Idea in the World--a magnificent plan to reunite Ahmet with his loved ones.

Balancing humor and heart, this relatable story about the refugee crisis from the perspective of kids highlights the community-changing potential of standing as an ally and reminds readers that everyone deserves a place to call home.

Todo mundo precisa ler este livro

Sabe os filmes da Pixar/Disney, que nos fazem chorar? A Raúf faz a mesma coisa, ela escreveu um livro para crianças, mas, o livro DEVE ser lido por todas as faixas etárias.
O livro ainda não possui tradução em PT, porém, para quem sabe o básico da Língua Inglesa, conseguirá ler com tranquilidade.
