The stand-alone companion to National Book Award Finalist and
beloved poet Naomi Shihab Nye's The Turtle of Oman. The Turtle of
Michigan is a deft and accessible novel that follows a young boy
named Aref as he travels from Muscat, Oman, to Ann Arbor, Michigan,
and adjusts to a new life and a new school in the United States. A
wonderful pick for young middle grade readers and fans of Other
Words for Home and Billy Miller Makes a Wish. Aref is excited for
his journey to reunite with his father in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Aref
makes a friend on an airplane, wonders what Michigan will be like,
and starts school in the United States. While he does miss his
grandfather, his Sidi, Aref knows that his home in Oman will always
be waiting for him. Award-winning author Naomi Shihab Nye's highly
anticipated sequel to The Turtle of Oman explores immigration,
family, and what it means to feel at home. Carrying a suitcase and
memories of Oman, Aref experiences the excitement and nervousness
that accompany moving to a new home. The Turtle of Michigan is a
great choice for reading aloud and a must-have for younger middle
grade readers. Illustrated in black-and-white throughout.
