Product Description
Inspired by the author's experience of immigrating to the U.S. from Iran, My America Blooms shares a story of hope.
My America Blooms is a story about a young girl uprooted from her home in Iran. When she and her family are forced to flee Tehran, she brings a pocket of golnar petals from her beloved garden. In America, she begins to tend a new garden as she creates a new life as an immigrant. America brings friendships, community experiences, and stability, planting the seeds of hope. But every garden has its thorns--the girl must dig deep within herself to cultivate the promises of her new home.
This hopeful story embodies the American dream in all its complexity. Fateme Mokhles's evocative, impressionistic art depicts the immigrant experience through the eyes of a child, while Nazanin Agange Ford's moving words remind all readers that they belong.
