Maati In Belgium: An Inspiring Story Of Immigration

By Mohamed Zefzaf

Maati in Belgium is an inspiring and unique semi-autobiographical children's story about immigration as experienced by Maati, a 10-year-old boy from Morocco. It is the spring of 1968 and Maati's life changes forever. He leaves his small farm, his beloved dog, and his friends and embarks with his parents on a long road trip. They travel by car for many days. They cross Spain and France, and finally make it to Belgium, their final destination. In Belgium, Maati is confused as he struggles with a new language and a new life, but as time goes by, he slowly adjusts to his new surroundings. With the help of a caring teacher and new friends, Maati eventually finds his place in Belgium. Now, all that is missing is Mika, his beloved three-legged dog.
