The story was very interesting on the character's story and I highly recommend it for reading.

“Other Words for Home” is truly a beautiful book in every sense that I would urge everyone to read. The story traces the life of Jude, who moves from Syria to America with her mother leaving behind her father and her brother Issa and the place she calls home.“There is an Arabic proverb that says:She makes you feellike a loaf of freshly baked bread.It is said aboutthe nicestkindestpeople.The type of peoplewho help yourise.”Written in verse, Other Words For Home is divided into six fractions where we see Jude come face to face with the fact that her country is changing and might not be the same ever again. Before Jude could understand what it means to live in her home torn apart by war she arrives at Cinncinati, with her mother in search of a new life. Jude never fails to awe you with her innocence and how she holds on to hope every step of her life is just inspirational. Every character be it Issa, who finds his place fighting for his country or Sarah, who yearns to learn to more about her father’s heritage and Layla, who struggles to belong is a story that someone can resonate with.Jasmine Warga paints a mesmerizing picture with words as we see Jude learning many new things, forming bonds with her new friends and family and growing. Laced with heartbreak yet brimming with hope, Other Words For Home is a middle grade book that is necessary and timely.

I recently read The shape of thunder and loved the heartfelt and captivating writing style of Jasmine Warga, so I decided to pick up the author’s debut middle grade novel Other words for home which won a John Newbery Honor, a Walter Honor for Young Readers, and a Charlotte Huck Honor.Other words for home is a beautiful book written in verse about Jude, a twelve year old courageous girl who flees Syria with her pregnant mother leaving behind her father and older brother, to live with her uncle in America since there is conflict and unrest brewing in her home country. It follows the life of Jude as she faces an identity crisis and struggles to learn and understand the colloquial words used in conversations, fit in at her new school where she is made fun of and labelled “Middle Eastern”, learn a new culture and adjust to her new surroundings. Jude’s journey of standing up what she believes in, pursing her dreams and embracing herself was beautiful.The author has captivated Jude’s confidence, emotions, vulnerability and insecurities perfectly in her writing.I enjoyed the simple free verse writing style of the author in this book which portrayed the difficulties in the life of a refugee - losing a home, sometimes family members and finding a new place to call home. The novel also introduces war, politics, immigration and racism to young readers without being overbearing. Though I did feel that the plot and the ending could have been better I thoroughly enjoyed reading this heartwarming book.

I only chose it because I needed to find a book for a school's project and I was fascinated since chapter one. The narrative involves you and if you let it flow, you live it like Jude is in your bones. Give yourself an opportunity to read this! It's a beautiful journey.

Leiam esse livro, além de lindo, nos permite conhecer outra cultura além do que vemos em jornais. A Jude é uma protagonista incrível. Com toda sua delicadeza, ela nos mostra a sua vida na Síria e depois o choque de cultura quando se muda pros EUA.

🌟 “I cover my head not because I am ashamed forced or hiding. But because I am proud and want to be seen as I am.” Other Words for Home, Jasmine Warga..🌟 I do not usually read Middle Grade or Young Adult but once in a while, I like to take a sneak peek just to see how the other half lives. Also, the fascination I have with how to do children process trauma and manifest it into their lives which might seem oblivious to many. If you have a teenager in your life, and you are searching for books to teach them empathy and tolerance regardless of their religion, gender, and ethnicity, then I highly recommend this book..🌟 We often talk about war and its ramifications, its pre-existing turbulence, and future implications but it is hardly contemplated what principles are we instilling into the juveniles. This is the book that perhaps has raised the subject unambiguously. Or else often the books like these which highlight such important sensitive issues are met with bizarre interpretations..🌟 Other Words for Home is about a twelve-year-old Syrian girl, Jude, who just not had to leave her home but is forced to separate from her father and brother. She moves to the United States with her mother and is instantly condemned to an identity crisis and religious condescension. Wagra has fluidly paid homage to the attribute that Hijab, or covering of one’s head is a personal choice for many. She disbands the concept of Islamophobia and beautifully conveys everyone to not stereotype..🌟 My favorite thing about this book is the fact that it represents children, the age group we often tend to forget or misapprehend. We mistake their rapid physical healing to mental healing. We take their accommodating and adjusting age for-granted. They are as bit of humans as the adults are. They do not know malice or animosity. We introduce them to these feelings. We teach them these words. Please be mindful of how you are around them, how you are treating them, or else the vicious cycle of traumatization will never cease to end.

Me encantó la edición, ¡es preciosa!, y se ve que se leerá rápido ya que la letra es grande. Vi la recomendación aquí en Amazon y me gustó la sinopsis así que espero que me guste.

Le livre se lit très facilement et rapidement mais le format m'a laissé perplexe au début bien que ce soit fait exprès.Il n'y a pas de paragraphes complets, les phrases sont coupées en plein milieu des phrases pour passer la ligne.Au début c'est bizarre. Puis on s'y fait. Et ça rajoute à la fin, des emphases sur les mots, les émotions ou les situations.Mais j'ai cru me faire avoir au début.Ça change un peu. J'ai bien aimé le thème du bouquin qui est assez rare encore.
