Kende! Kende! Kende! (Hardcover Edition)

Illustrated by Rahana Dariah

'In KENDE! KENDE! KENDE! "going" is the beginning of a new world, but a young girl’s constant desire to be on the move, to kende, quickly becomes a matter of survival.'
New York Times Book Review

A multilingual story of love and learning, joy and journey Inspired by the families throughout Central Africa who are forced to leave their homes, this is an honest but hopeful own-voice narrative about displacement, migration, and finding a new home. Having fled their village as conflict approaches, Mamá, Papá, Lolie, and Nico live in a refugee camp until they are chosen for resettlement in North America. Their new city is a go, go, go of new challenges, but also a return to love and learning, joy and journey. A text woven from three languages celebrates multilingual speakers and the resilience of refugees.
