ABOUT THE BOOK
Mónica and Hannah are school kids in the big city. Together, they have formed the Homesick Club, since they are both from far away. Mónica misses the family of hummingbirds that she and her grandmother would feed in her backyard in Bolivia. Hannah misses the sunshine and the tiny tortoise that lived near her house in Israel. When a new teacher, Miss Shelby, arrives from Texas, the girls discover that she misses her home, too.
“A beacon for all those missing home.”
“A supportive picture book for immigrants and an empathetic read-aloud choice for classroom discussion.”
The Homesick Club is available from Groundwood Books
