Sangoel is a refugee. Leaving behind his homeland of Sudan, where
his father died in the war, he has little to call his own other
than his name, a Dinka name handed down proudly from his father and
grandfather before him. When Sangoel and his mother and sister
arrive in the United States, everything seems very strange and
unlike home. In this busy, noisy place, with its escalators and
television sets and traffic and snow, Sangoel quietly endures the
fact that no one is able to pronounce his name. Lonely and
homesick, he finally comes up with an ingenious solution to this
problem, and in the process he at last begins to feel at home.
Written by the authors of the acclaimed Four Feet, Two Sandals,
this poignant story of identity and belonging will help young
readers understand the plight of the millions of children in the
world who are refugees.
