Pour le jeune Ali, qui a quitt l'Afghanistan, la maison est l'endroit o sa famille est r unie.

Bien que sa famille soit en s curit dans son nouveau pays, Ali regrette de ne pas pouvoir retourner en Afghanistan. Une journ e pass e cueillir des m res avec Nana lui rappelle leur vieille maison, le m rier qu'il aimait tant et le jour o les soldats sont arriv s. Il se souvient de leur fuite dans la nuit, des autobus et de l'avion bond s qui l'ont emmen dans cet endroit magnifique, mais inconnu. Lorsque Ali et Nana aper oivent un merlebleu, elle lui dit de faire un voeu. Ali souhaite rentrer chez lui, mais, comme il finira par le comprendre, la maison n'est pas un lieu. La maison, c'est l'amour que les membres de sa famille se portent les uns aux autres.

Dans Si tu vois un merlebleu, Bahram Rahman r fl chit l'exp rience de personnes r fugi es qui apprennent s'adapter et embrasser un nouveau pays et un nouveau foyer. L'illustratrice prim e Gabrielle Grimard utilise des palettes de couleurs riches et vari es pour illustrer les deux mondes d'Ali.

For young Ali, a former refugee from Afghanistan, "home" is where his family is together.

Although his family is safe in their new country, Ali finds himself wishing he could go back to Afghanistan. A day spent picking blackberries with Nana reminds him of their old house with the mulberry tree he loved and the day the soldiers came. He recalls their nighttime flight and the crowded buses and airplane that took him to this beautiful but unfamiliar place. When Ali and Nana spot a bluebird, she tells him to make a wish. Ali wishes to go home, but, as he comes to learn, home is not a place. Home is the love his family has for each other.

In Si tu vois un merlebleu, Bahram Rahman reflects on the experience of former refugees as they learn to adapt and embrace a new country and a new home. Award-winning illustrator Gabrielle Grimard incorporates rich and varied colour palettes to capture Ali's two worlds.
