A child and her family take in refugees during the Korean War in
this poignant picture book about courage and what it really means
to care for your neighbors. Every day, more and more people fleeing
war in the north show up at Kyung Tak and her family’s house on
the southeastern shore of Korea. With nowhere else to go, the Taks'
home is these migrants' last chance of refuge “before falling
into the sea,” and the household quickly becomes crowded, hot,
and noisy. Then war sirens cry out over Kyung's city too, and her
family and their guests take shelter underground. When the sirens
stop, Kyung is upset—she wishes everything could go back to the
way it was before: before the sirens, before strangers started
coming into their home. But after an important talk with her
parents, her new friend Sunhee, and Sunhee’s father, Kyung
realizes something important: We’re stronger when we have each
other, and the kindness we show one another in the darkest of times
is a gift we’ll never regret.
