Rama and her family, are forced to flee their once-peaceful village to escape the ravages of the civil war raging ever closer to their homeWith only what they can carry on their backs, Rama and her mother, father, grandfather and brother, Sami, set out to walk to freedom in Europe.

The author was immediately impressed by the strong narrative quality of Mr. Badrs work, and, using many of Mr. Badrs already-created pieces, she set out to create a story about the Syrian refugee crisis.This bilingual book includes full text in both English and Arabic.
