A gorgeous debut picture book from Argentinian illustrator Laila Ekboir about moving home, making new friends and embracing change!
Flor is only seven years old and has moved home three times. Now her family is moving again and she has to start all over again in a new country and a new school.
A beautiful, lyrical picture book about moving home, finding new friends and a sense of belonging in a new culture. The perfect, uplifting story for any child who feels like they don't fit in or who is worried about the prospect of moving country, home or school and having to start over.
Laila Ekboir worked as a freelance illustrator for many years in Buenos Aires, Argentina, before moving to the UK in 2021 to complete an MA in children's book illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. She works by hand, exploring a multiplicity of materials, but her favourite medium is printmaking. She draws inspiration from everyday occurrences, current affairs, her sketchbooks and childhood memories of living in California, Mexico City, and Buenos Aires.
