Loved it! Loved the storyline following a young Syrian girl who moves to America with her mom and having to figure out this new life of theirs. It was so eye opening and a warm hug that at the same time. It will definitely encourage you to have more empathy for those who may not look like you because you never know what may be going on at home and the struggles that may be their daily lives.
