1 post | 3 read
A beautifully illustrated story of freedom, music, and seeking refuge.A small group of refugees is crowded on to a boat on the sea. They share their stories as the boat travels towards the dream of safety and freedom. One boy, Rami, has brought his violin, and his story of how the violin was invented, and of a stallion that could run like the wind, weaves through theother stories, bringing them all together into a celebration of hope and of the power of music and story. A very special, beautifully illustrated, fable for all who strive to understand, and to stand together with, those around them.Gill Lewis is the multi-award-winning and best-selling author of novels such as Sky Hawk, White Dolphin, and Scarlet Ibis and A Story Like the Wind is her lyrical and unforgettable response to the refugee crisis, which will linger on in the mind long after reading. Beautiful charcoal illustrationsfrom Jo Weaver give this book a very special feel and make it a perfect gift.

This was a beautiful short story of a small group of refugees in a small boat, with big dreams and hope. Woven through their personal stories is the story of Suke and the white horse - hope.

This story reads like a fable and would make a good elementary read-aloud.
