Ziba Came on a Boat

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Ingpen. Ziba and her mother flee from the violence that shatters their country. Aboard a refugee ship, the girl vividly recalls pieces of her past and looks forward to the future. Arresting watercolors accompany the poetic text, which eloquently implies more than it states ("The darkness spread, seeping into the quiet corners of the peaceful village").
