Bookroo's summary
Rashin, an Iranian immigrant, embarks on her first beach trip in her new home. As she journeys to Coney Island, she fondly recalls the Caspian Sea and saffron ice cream of Iran. Amidst the subway rides and vibrant music, she discovers the charm of her new surroundings and the possibility of new friendships. Will the wonders of this new place fill the void of what she left behind?
From the publisher
With her colorful, exuberant folk-art illustrations and upbeat, friendly tone, Rashin makes a daunting cross-cultural leap seem as easy as a summer breeze. – New York Times Book Review Rashin is excited about her first visit to the beach in her family’s new home. On the way there, she remembers what beach trips were like in Iran, the beautiful Caspian Sea, the Persian music, and most of all, the saffron ice cream she shared with her best friend, Azadeh. But there are wonderful things in this new place as well – a subway train, exciting music… and maybe even a new friend!
