Description
A universal story about displacement, migration, and
the many ways we find home.
Nur has always loved her home by the sea, where water glimmers
along a straight horizon. But when Nur and her family are forced
to leave, they begin a long journey to an unfamiliar place.
For Nur, nothing in this new place feels like home.
Then one day, Nur's mother brings her a new set of paintbrushes.
Nur's brushstrokes help her connect the place she's lost, and
she finds home again through creativity and heart.
The Light of Home will resonate with
anyone who has ever had to leave a place they've loved.
From author, poet, and physician Diana Farid comes this introspective
story about belonging and the power of creativity.
Artist Hoda Hadadi's gorgeous illustrations bring this story
to life in beautiful detail
