Revue de presse

This is a warm, ultimately hopeful story about the world of a refugee child, and the compassion and understanding shown to him by his teachers and schoolmates. --The Ultimate First Book Guide

This book was published three years ago in 2002, but it is quite simply a masterpiece of the picture-book form and cannot be recommended too often or too highly. Mary Hoffman s beautiful and sensitively told story concerns Hassan from Somalia, whose very real tale is trapped inside him with no way to be let out. The manner in which a picture has to be done in class and the revelations it causes is heartrending. Be warned, experience the book alone first before sharing it with youngsters. Many teachers and librarians have found themselves reduced to tears when first meeting the words and pictures here. --Boys into Books 5-11 Riveting Reads

A thoughtful text and pictures which show the contrasts in his life vividly trace Hassan s journey towards integration as he gradually leaves behind the violence he has escaped from and begins to embrace his new world. --Book Ahead 0-7
