#JamminJune Day 10: #FarFromHome reminded me of this picturebook. Desta‘s father received the bad news about her grandmother in Ethiopia being ill. Desta‘s mother told her that her father would need to go back home to Ethiopia to see his mother, which set off a wave of anxiety in Desta. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-cp4
