Wasim's family must leave their hometown because there is war. Grandma and Grandpa cannot fly with them, so Wasim is very grateful for the vest that Grandma made herself. He is sure it will protect him. This is necessary, as the sea is rough and the journey is long until the family finds help at Café Welcome. Mr. Hubert helps wherever he can, but the best ideas come from Wasim himself, and with them, he helps himself, his father, and his new friend Bashir, who is plagued by nightmares. This lovingly illustrated story about flight and trauma not only shows what helps children cope better during crises but also how traumatized children can develop resilience. It is suitable for children and adults who know refugees, want to help them, and engage in conversation with them, as well as for educational and therapeutic use in trauma clinics.
