A multilingual story of love and learning, joy and journey.

Inspired by the families throughout Central Africa who are forced to leave their homes, this is an honest but hopeful own-voice narrative about displacement, migration, and finding a new home.

Having fled their village as conflict approaches, Mamá, Papá, Lolie, and Nico live in a refugee camp until they are chosen for resettlement in North America. Their new city is a go, go, go of new challenges, but also a return to love and learning, joy and journey.

A text woven from three languages (English, French and words in Lingala) celebrates multilingual speakers and the resilience of refugees.
