Oh Give Me a Home

"From Author Jane Kurtz, winner of the School Library Journal Best Of The Year and numerous other awards. In verse, Oh Give Me a Home relates the story of a girl's inside-out view of America as she journeys from Ethiopia, searches for friends and belonging... But her plans are derailed as Jane learns she is to move back to America with her family. America and Africa collide as Jane tries to answer the simple question, "Where am I from?" Entering grade school in suburban America for the first time, will she find a best friend a continent away from her real life in Africa? Or is America-where she meets her relatives for laughter and frolicking and big holiday meals-her real home?" Publisher
