Faraway Home

As her father prepares for a trip back to his childhood home in Ethiopia, Desta begins to worry about where her father truly belongs--in the village of his youth or in America with her. She wonders about his experiences growing up in Ethiopia and if his love for his family will be enough to bridge the two worlds and bring him back to her. The story is a powerful portrayal of a contemporary American immigrant family, illustrated by a Coretta Scott King Honor-winning artist, and highlights a heartwarming father-daughter relationship. It has also been selected by the Junior Library Guild.
