Jasmine’s Refuge: Inspired by Stories of Syrian Refugees in the West

"Don't ask the bird why it emigrated. ​Ask about that reason that pushed it to emigrate." This statement isn't just for birds but it also applies to human beings.

Over the years, people migrate for some good reasons, such as learning, working, exploring, or looking for a better life. Those people prepare their plans carefully.

Some other people were forced to leave their homeland behind to migrate somewhere else. They mostly left without any preparation. The most important thing they cared about was finding a safe place for themselves and their kids.

This story talks about an immigrant family from Syria to America running away from war woes and tribulations.

This family was put in difficult, sad, and funny situations due to differences in habits and traditions. Positively, they faced all the challenges that came along the way.

The characters aren't real, but they tell real events.

This book points and discusses some of the immigrants' backgrounds such as beliefs, culture, customs, and habits. Widening one's knowledge and horizon makes understanding and accepting people more achievable.

And the bird shall continue to fly.
