Nest Box – May 2021 (Syria)

Explore this history of Syria with this box. Written in verse, the featured book is the story of a young Syrian girl and her family. It starts with their regular life in a small beach town outside of Aleppo and progresses as the war reverberates through the entire country forcing her and her mother to flee. It follows them as they settle into life in America and the challenges that come with that – racism, Islamophobia, and the heartache of leaving family behind in uncertain circumstances.
