A young brother and sister survived a harrowing boat ride to a new place. Luckily they were rescued and were given shelter in a dilapidated house. Soon, the younger brother began to venture out and make friends, while the older sister only felt safe staying inside. One day, her brother brought her a butterfly. She wanted him to set it free, but the butterfly didn't seem to understand how to escape their house. The older sister had to face her fears to help the butterfly.
I liked that Cooper wrote about refugee children. It would help young kids understand what other young kids are going through. It wasn't extremely engaging though.
