By Wendy Meddour, Daniel Egneus (Illustrator)
A girl must choose between comfort and friendship in a world of uncertainty.
In a world of tents, young Lubna finds solace in her best friend, a pebble. But when a lost boy arrives, she faces a heart-wrenching choice: keep her comfort or offer it to someone in greater need. As Lubna navigates this emotional landscape, her decision could change everything. Will she hold onto her own security, or will she embrace the power of selfless friendship? This poignant tale explores the depths of compassion and the courage to give, even when it means losing something precious.
In an unforgettable story that subtly addresses the refugee crisis, a young girl must decide if friendship means giving up the one item that gives her comfort during a time of utter uncertainty. Lubna’s best friend is a pebble. Pebble always listens to her stories. Pebble always smiles when she feels scared. But when a lost little boy arrives in the World of Tents, Lubna realizes that he needs Pebble even more than she does. This emotionally stirring and stunningly illustrated picture book explores one girl’s powerful act of friendship in the midst of an unknown situation.
