(3) 4-6 Inspired by the author's personal interactions with Somalian refugees in her Maine town, this book provides unique insight into the cultural and social challenges children can encounter when they move from one country to another. Although Kiki, a Somali girl, and Jacques, a boy from Maine, have different life experiences, this novel emphasizes the importance of building on similarities to find friendships in unexpected places.
