In time for the 75th anniversary of the Partition of British India,
this picture book is a stirring account of the harrowing journey
faced by millions of migrants in the aftermath of the division of
India and Pakistan. Azra knows that wherever she goes, her doll
Gurya will follow. Even if it's on a train that will take her far
away from the house her family has lived in for generations. Even
if there is a new flag flying in Dehradun, and no place left in it
for Azra. At least she will be taking a piece of home with her. But
when Abba comes home and says they must leave right now, Gurya gets
left behind in the scramble. Will Azra be strong enough to face the
long journey alone? And what will happen to Gurya, now hundreds of
miles behind them? Inspired by the author's family story, this
lyrical, moving picture book is a testament to the strength,
courage, and perseverance of the over 10 million refugees displaced
by the largest forced migration in recorded history, and shares a
young girl's journey from her old home to a new one.
