About this title

Synopsis

Displaced by conflict in Ukraine, a young girl and her family must start again in a new country.

When war comes to Sofiya's country, she and her mother and grandmother are forced to set off on a long journey to escape the violence and find safety. Sofiya doesn’t know whether she will ever see her friends or her beloved garden again, so she takes a sunflower with her as a reminder of all that she is leaving behind. But this homegrown keepsake has a surprise in store―one that will help Sofiya put down her own roots and feel at home in a new place.
