This gorgeous MG novel in verse is a MUST READ!
Words cannot adequately express how much Jordanian-American author Jasmine Warga’s novel “Other Words for Home” means to me.Growing up, I never read stories about people like me or families like my own because they simply didn’t exist. Books with Arab and/or Arab-American characters, being wholly human, navigating issues of identity and belonging, interrogating what “home” means were never written. Too bad.I’m elated that that’s changing, though, and that there are Arab-Americans who are writing these stories *with such immense skill and heart.*This is the first middle grade novel I’ve read in literally decades and it just encouraged me to order many more. It is poetic and hopeful and so thoughtfully written. I can barely remember the last time I loved a character as much as I love brave and precious Jude.I cried and cheered many times along this journey.Seriously, if you work with middle graders, have middle graders, or are a lover of children’s literature yourself—YOU MUST check out this gorgeous novel in verse.The only downside (and it's a big one) is that it ends.
