Reem and the broken Doll
Reem is six years old, and everything is new.
She has had to leave her home, her best friend Sara and the warm sun behind. All she has brought is Mia, a little cloth doll with a broken leg.
In her new town, the sky is grey, the bread tastes different and nobody speaks her language. At her new school, the children laugh at the way she looks, the way she speaks and even the lunch her Mama made. Reem only wants one thing: for someone to say hello.
Then a girl with a green hair clip smiles at her. Sofia has a story of her own that nobody can see from the outside. When the teasing goes too far and Mia is thrown across the playground, Reem, Sofia and a caring teacher help a whole class learn what it means to speak up, say sorry and make things right.
Reem and the Broken Doll is a warm, gentle story about racism, kindness and belonging. It helps children understand that everyone carries something we can't see, and that no one is more and no one is less.
