Lubna and Pebble von Wendy Meddour
This wonderfully illustrated book subtlety tells the story of refugee families, especially the impacts on children. Living in the World of Tents with her father, Lubna takes solace from her friend Pebble. Pebble is her confidant and Lubna shares her stories and feelings with Pebble. When Lubna befriends another refugee child, she realizes that Pebble may now offer comfort to him. This simple and quiet story leads to discussions of compassion and empathy.
A cute and poignant book about dealing with loss, shows a boy trying to play with his grandfather to no avail until he simplifies the conversation and draws grandpa in by talking about his favorite things. The ending is great, almost a tear-jerker, and reads at least as good for adults as for children.
I'd recommend for any younger reader, as a bedtime book, and for anyone who recently suffered a loss in the family.

Henry and Grandpa go about the day ranking their top three things, best of all was Granny's top three stars!
What was the one thing that brought you comfort as a child? The thing that as long as you had it, nothing else mattered? The thing that made you feel safe and secure, warm and welcomed?
For Lubna, it is a simple pebble. But it helps her as she finds herself in an unknown land. This pebble is more than a pebble. It is her friend, her confidante, her security. It helps her bridge the unknown. Later, there is a little boy named Amir who feels the same as Lubna. Lubna shares Pebble and it brings the same comfort to Amir.
This is a beautiful refugee story. Absolutely beautiful. I think it begs to be shared!!… (mehr)
