Unwrapping Some Illustrations for You
The Book
Evie is curious to meet her new neighbours. They are a refuge family who immigrated to America and have moved into her neighbourhood. She quickly discovers that not all of the community is happy that they are there. Accepting neighbours reach out and offer the family furniture and other necessities that they will need to set up their home. Evie and her family happily donate coats and curtains while books, a quilt, drawing paper and crayons, and a soccer ball magically appear just to name a few. Everyone pitches in and provides a lovely pot-luck dinner for the family so they can spend time together and get to know them more. Beautiful!
Evie is especially sympathetic and hospitable. Her compassionate heart offers their little boy, Bimi, her teddy bear so he will feel comforted in this new strange country. Through her act of kindness towards Bimi she gains a new friend.
The illustrations are lovely and enrich the bittersweet story. This is a wonderful book to share not only at home but in classrooms as well. The book will spark conversations of empathy and inclusiveness. I highly recommend this book.
