Parvana's Journey has some really funny moments and some really hard moments. They weave together as all part of what life is for her and her companions. I love watching Parvana and Asif fight constantly in such silly ways and how even in their circumstances, their belief is so quick to rise. The best example of this is when Parvana convinces herself and Asif that there is treasure buried under their cave floor. And they do find something! Sadly, it is a treasure for their tormentors: bullets that are only good for continuing the violence they're trying to escape. There is hope mixed into their reality at all times, moments of rest, and the usual stress and conflict of a family as they travel onward, unwilling to lose each other and unable to stay still until they find a home.
