A New York Times Notable Children's Books selection. The moving
story of one boy's refugee experience in the Syrian Civil War and
the birds who help him on the road to emotional healing Behind
Sami, the Syrian skyline is full of smoke. The boy follows his
family and all his neighbours in a long line, as they trudge
through the sands and hills to escape the bombs that have destroyed
their homes. But all Sami can think of is his pet pigeons-will they
escape too? When they reach a refugee camp and are safe at last,
everyone settles into the tent city. But though the children start
to play and go to school again, Sami can't join in. When he is
given paper and paint, all he can do is smear his painting with
black. He can't forget his birds and what his family has left
behind. One day a canary, a dove, and a rose finch fly into the
camp. They flutter around Sami and settle on his outstretched arms.
For Sami it is one step in a long healing process at last. A gentle
yet moving story of refugees of the Syrian civil war, My Beautiful
Birds illuminates the ongoing crisis as it affects its children. It
shows the reality of the refugee camps, where people attempt to
pick up their lives and carry on. And it reveals the hope of
generations of people as they struggle to redefine home.
