Homes : a refugee story Cover Image E-book E-book

Homes : a refugee story / Abu Bakr Al Rabeeah with Winnie Yeung.

al Rabeeah, Abu Bakr, (author.). Yeung, Winnie, (author.).

Summary:

"Homes tells the story of Abu Bakr al Rabeeah, a young boy whose family moved from Iraq to Syria just before the start of the Syrian civil war. It recounts what it was like living in Syria during this time -- the normal things like video games, sleepovers, and family jarringly juxtaposed with car bombings, massacres, and the constant threat of what could happen next. In 2014 the family finally found safety in immigrating to Edmonton, Canada, and the book also recounts both the gratefulness and the loneliness of the family's immigration experience."-- Provided by publisher.
