Synopsis

In the heart of a city, a girl called Blessing is living a new life with her Mama, far from the place she once called home. Blessing’s greatest wish is that her Papa will find his way to them and when she finds a lost bag of paper Wish Birds, she follows a trail of wishes to the community who made them, leading to new friendships and a heartwarming conclusion. This lyrical, free-verse tale about kindness and friendship is perfect for young readers age 7 and up.

Endorsed by Amnesty International, Swallow’s Kiss is a moving story about the refugee experience. Written by acclaimed author Sita Brahmachari, with illustrations from award-winning Jane Ray, this uplifting tale explores the common threads that connect our communities. The book is part of Pop Up Projects’ 10 Stories to Make a Difference collection. The collection features a mix of well-known and emerging writers and illustrators, giving a platform to untold stories and diverse new voices.
