(3) 4-6 Translated by Nancy Forest-Flier. Illustrated by Annet Schaap. A young Afghan refugee, Roya, bonds with her family’s new pet rabbit, Mishka, as they process the trauma of their escape from Kabul to the Netherlands. Through the gentle voice of Roya, the novel explores themes of belonging and the refugee experience, weaving together moments of joy and sadness. Schaap’s soft, impressionistic illustrations are interspersed and beautifully reflect the story’s warmth, calm, and emotional depth.
