Farah feels entirely alone, even when she is surrounded by her new classmates. It is difficult being the new kid in school, especially when you have just moved from another country and cannot speak the language yet. Most of the time, she just listens quietly and nods. During a class field trip to an apple orchard, things begin to change. Farah notices the familiar sound of dogs crunching on food and the happy ripples of friendly laughter. When she picks a crisp green apple to drop into the cider press alongside her classmates' red ones, she realizes that being different is perfectly fine. This tender and beautifully painted story puts you right in the shoes of a young immigrant finding her voice. It is a warm reminder that sharing simple moments can help anyone feel like they finally belong.
