How could a new country be put inside a country that was already there? It's 1948 and Nabila Yasmeen lives a happy life in her village in Palestine.

Where will they go? With beautiful illustrations by renowned Palestinian artist Baraa Awoor, The Sunbird is the poignant story of a little girl who just wants to go home.
