About This Book

Lubna lives in a refugee camp. Her best friend is a pebble she's drawn a face on. When a new boy arrives, even more frightened than she is, Lubna gives him Pebble.

Why This Age

The refugee theme is handled with tenderness, not trauma. 5-6 year olds can understand giving something precious to someone who needs it more.

How to Use

  • Draw faces on pebbles together
  • Discuss: 'Why did Lubna give Pebble away? Was it easy?'
  • Talk about what it means to welcome someone new
