In a tender tale of community and resiliency, two brothers who become
refugees find hope in their bond with each other and through their
connections with the people they encounter.
"We were not alone," is the refrain of this moving picture book that
encourages empathy and acts of generosity while celebrating the power of
human connection.
A little boy looks to his big brother for guidance after a disaster
levels their city. Together, the boys journey to a sheltering beach,
where they are welcomed by fellow survivors.
Absorbing the warmth of the new community, they begin to help others and
to regain a steadying sense of hope. An author's note includes
information about how to help refugees.
