"An evocative and moving story"
Sunny and his father have moved to a new country. Sunny is very much settled in but he realises his father is sad, picking up on the number of times Daddy reminisces about their old home, particularly when talking about the birds in their garden. Fortunately, Sunny has a plan, one that proves very effective and brings them both equal amounts of happiness.
Wendy Meddour’s story evokes feelings that will resonate with many of those newly arrived in countries far from home but has a universal message too about joy and how to find it. It is also a lovely description of the relationship between this father and his young son. Nabila Adani’s illustrations are as sensitive, as tender and as uplifting as the text.

Sunny and his family have recently moved to a new country in this evocative story about adjusting to life in a new place. His dad is struggling to see their new house as home, and Sunny can tell that he is yearning for his old life, where collared doves cooed in the soft morning light and swallows swooped in the sunset.
So Sunny comes up with a plan to help his dad find joy in his new home. An evocative story about belonging from the author of Lubna and Pebble.
