Description
Description
Clara and her family are forced to leave everything behind in this poignant but hopeful story of forced migration, told through the eyes of a young refugee.
"We all carry our special homes with us - in our backpacks and pockets, and in our hearts."
Every day Clara and her family walk a long way. Sometimes they talk and joke, sometimes they must hide and keep silent. At night, in their village of tents, Clara visits her new friends to hear about their special homes: the things that light up the darkness for them.
But Clara hopes someday soon their journey will end, and she can put down her backpack and find a safe place for her special home to stay.
