She struggles with loneliness, with a fierce longing for the culture and familiarity of home, until one day, her aunt takes her on a walk. As the duo strolls through their city park, the girl's aunt begins to tell her an old myth, and a story within the story begins. A long time ago, a group of refugees arrived on a foreign shore. The local king met them, determined to refuse their request for refuge. But there was a language barrier, so the king filled a glass with milk and pointed to it as a way of saying that the land was full and couldn't accommodate the strangers. Then, the leader of the refugees dissolved sugar in the glass of milk. His message was clear: Like sugar in milk, our presence in your country will sweeten your lives. The king embraced the refugee, welcoming him and his people. The folktale depicted in this book was a part of author Thrity Umrigar's Zoroastrian upbringing as a Parsi child in India, but resonates for children of all backgrounds, especially those coming to a new homeland" --Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aiea Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Um Lost 10/30/2023 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Um Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Um Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Um Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Keaau P/S Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library E -- Easy/Picture Books Umrigar Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
