A powerful award-winning story, filled with compassion and a world of ideas, about how a young girl copes when her family take in a refugee.
Mina wants her own bedroom more than anything else in the whole wide world. And it’s almost ready! Just one more lick of sunny yellow paint and it’s hers.
But when Mina's parents take in an unexpected guest, they give her room away. At first, Mina is too upset to speak. She doesn’t care that this new boy, Azzami, needs a place to stay.
At school, the other kids call Azzami names, and Mina wishes he’d stand up for himself. Then she sees his drawings, and for the first time really thinks about the life of the quiet boy in front of her.
Here is a story about finding friendship where you least expect it and making room for everyone across this big wide world.
'At its heart, this novel is about the importance of compassion and understanding and making one feel as though they belong.'
Reading Time
'Mina and the Whole Wide World shows that ultimately, it is kindness and compassion which connects us all across this big wide world.’
