“We left our home behind,” explains the dad, “but our home is special: it is made up of the people we love and the things we love to do.” “Yes,” says the mom. “We all carry our own special homes with us – in our bags and pockets, but also in our hearts.” Clara knew that one day her family would have to leave, just like her uncles, aunts, cousins, and so many others. At dawn, they join forces with the caravan of people meandering over the hills. Every day they cover great distances. Sometimes they talk and joke, other times they hide and remain silent. In the evening, they create a village of tents, and Clara visits her new friends to learn about their own special homes, the things that light up the darkness for them: Juan's song, Maria's stories, and Tomas's dominoes. For Clara, home is the painting, dad and mom, her brother Pedro, and the dog Coco. One night, Clara makes a wish on a shooting star. She wishes for their long journey to end so she can soon set down her bag and find a safe place for her special home. This is an emotional yet hopeful view of forced migration and displacement, as expressed through the eyes of a child. Inspired by true stories of refugees from Venezuela, Eugenia Pereira's lyrical and emotional text and Angela Salerno's stunning illustrations gently offer children a glimpse into this important and timely topic, promoting empathy and understanding.
