“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.
