Noah's New Home cover

A beautifully illustrated, sensitively told story about a young refugee.

From author of My Name is a Gift, Zeshan Akhter, comes a sensitively told story about a young refugee as he settles in a new country. It is beautifully illustrated by Nabila Adani.

In a tale of home and healing, Noah's family have taken a journey no one should have to make. They arrive in a different country as refugees. While settling into their new house, Noah misses his Baba, Jida and their old home. When a fireworks display brings back both happy memories and difficult moments of their journey and arrival, his family and their new community support him in facing his fears and feeling hopeful for the future.

This timely and heartfelt story is a deeply emotional exploration of the lasting impact of the refugee experience and the tragedy of war. The perfect companion to The Suitcase, The Journey and The Other Side.

Noah's New Home explores the topics of missing home, traumatic childhood experiences, and the value of community in a sensitive and child-friendly, yet powerful, way. Glimpses of memories from home are intertwined with new experiences, building a nuanced and colourful story about change. Beautifully illustrated, this book allows readers to see, hear, smell and feel alongside Noah, to understand his journey and the importance of welcoming others who have been forced to leave their homes. Every day here at Young Roots, we work with children and young people who have had to flee their homes, and it's so important to see their experiences shared so beautifully with children. -- Paola Uccellari, Chief Executive * Young Roots *
