Nita has never seen the sea. With her family, she's about to leave her country to start a new life on the other side of the sea. However, this journey doesn't look like the travels from adventure books. The boat is small, and the sea dances dangerously around the fragile craft. But the south wind and her dad's hope push them. Soon, a land appears: fine sand, colored sunshades, and children's cries. Is the sea less terrifying from this side?
This new book from the series Hissez Ho! talks about migration through a child's eyes.
