A hopeful and timely picture book about a spirited little girl living in a refugee camp.Of all her friends, Abia has been at the Shimelba Refugee Camp the longest-seven years, four months, and sixteen days. Papa says thats too long and they need a forever home. Until then, though, Abia has something important to do. Be a queen.Sometimes shes a noisy queen, banging on her drum as she and Mama wait in the long line for rice to cook for dinner. Sometimes shes a quiet queen, cuddling her baby cousin to sleep while Auntie is away collecting firewood. And sometimes, when Papa talks hopefully of their future, forever home, Abia is a little nervous. Forever homes are in strange and faraway places-will she still be a queen?Filled with hope, love, and respect, Wherever I Go is a timely tribute to the strength and courage of refugees around the world.
