Noah’s New Home

Author: Zeshan AkhterIllustrator: Nabila Adani

This is a sensitively written story about a young refugee boy, Noah, who is anxious and grieving for his Baba and Jida. When Noah becomes fearful of the fireworks, his friends in the community support him — a beautiful reminder of how simple actions can powerfully bring peace and joy to others. This book will resonate with anyone dealing with grief and anxiety. Despite covering sensitive issues such as war and death, the story doesn’t feel heavy, but hopeful.
