Based on a true, heartwarming, viral story of a young Kurdish refugee who is forced to leave her home. In Netherlands, while waiting for a place to go, a kind landlord gifts Mevan a bicycle. Years later, after moving to America, Mevan travels back to Kurdistan and Netherlands where she reconnects with the kind man who "made her feel 100 feet tall". This is an uplifting story with a valuable author's note in the back. Great illustrations. This empathy-building picture book is a real treat.
