EN SAVOIR PLUS Résumé

Today is baking day.

Once a week Ayah and her mother get to use the tandoor oven at their refugee camp. While they bake, Ayah talks about her teacher asking the class what they want to be when they grow up. Her mother wonders if Ayah wants to be an engineer or a singer...but Ayah has never met anyone like that.

While getting some fresh air, Ayah rests her eyes until a swallow says hello. "Please can I have some bread?" it asks. Ayah shares her snack, and the swallow tells her about its travels. Ayah has never seen the world outside the fence—she thought it was all dangerous. The sparrow explains that there are many places without war, and he invites her to climb on his back to fly with him and see the world for herself. Together they soar over fields and mountains and busy cities, and when Ayah returns, she can dream of a future where she'll be free.

Available in French as Ayah et le vaste monde.

Key Selling Points

  • Ayah has always lived in a refugee camp, and she isn’t sure what she wants to be when she grows up. But then she dreams of a visit from a swallow who shows her the wide world outside the fence, and she learns that there are many possibilities beyond the confines of her camp.
  • This book gives us an authentic look into life as a child in a refugee camp, while the magical realism of Ayah's travels on the swallow's back shows how crucial imagination is in persevering through difficult times—and how it provides hope and strength.
  • Inspired by author Souad Shehab's personal experience. She was born in Syria, in a camp for displaced persons, and lived there for twenty-four years.
  • Souad Shehab is a retired teacher and first-time author, and Julie Sedivy is an academic and nonfiction writer.
  • Authors Souad and Julie met by chance in Toronto and quickly became as close as sisters despite their different backgrounds and languages. They are collaborating together on a series of children's stories and continue to inspire each other in their professional and personal lives.
  • Barkha Lohia's illustrations skillfully capture both the reality of the camp's environment and the variety and beauty of the landscapes Ayah views with the swallow, as well as the warm relationship between Ayah and her mother.
