A young Iranian girl arrives in America and misses everything about home — the sounds, the smells, the food, especially saffron ice cream. At the beach she discovers something unexpected: familiar joy in an unfamiliar place. Kheiriyeh's illustrations are warm and specific, rooted in Iranian visual culture. A picture book about the immigrant child's experience of holding two worlds simultaneously — not as a problem to be solved but as a richness to be discovered. The gentlest dispatch on the Iran shelf and the most essential for the youngest readers.
