I found it especially interesting that the narration was
third person, but it was as though Azzi was speaking in first person. The
narrator would say “father” as though its Azzi talking, but then it says “they”
when referring to Azzi’s parents. I am not sure how to classify that but I
found it interesting. The color of the pictures tends to react well with what
the words say. One place in particular that I noticed was when Sabeen was
telling Azzi about how she came to America and the pictured are black white and
green. I wonder why the illustrator chose to use green in those panels. I
really like that, it helps make the story come to life. I like that the book
explains what it would be like to be in the head of a child coming to a new
country and not understanding what her classmates are saying. I think its explained
in way that is easy to understand.
