After 9 years in a refugee camp in Nepal, Amita remembers very little of
her homeland, Bhutan. At two years old, she was forced to flee her
country when her family was targeted because of their Nepalese heritage.
When the camp becomes an unsafe place for Amita and her family to live,
they make the difficult decision to seek a permanent home in a new
country. Interspersed with facts about Bhutan and its people, this
narrative tells a story common to many refugees fleeing the country.
Readers will learn about the conflict there and how they can help
refugees in their communities and around the world who are struggling to
find permanent homes. Teacher's guide available.
