The illustrations are lush, whimsical, and capture the imagination on each page. Making friends is a theme that will resonate with young readers, and the characters are equally compelling.

I felt angry that no one seemed to take responsibility for her safety and well being. All very different to Kerry's experience. I grew up in a poor household but there was plenty of love and food, and I felt wanted. It made for uncomfortable reading and I found myself comparing my own childhood with Kerry's. I cannot resist a book with a map and this one was fascinating with some place names in bold typeface (these were the towns that she lived in throughout her childhood) and dotted lines with arrows which I discovered were the routes she and her mother travelled, either to escape from or to join one of her mother's boyfriends. The first thing I noticed on opening this book was the map, four pages in. This is a memoir of a girl growing up in acute poverty who revisits the many locations that she lived in throughout her childhood and views them from a new perspective. ![]() ![]() The pair did not have the best relationship.īukowski’s father was certain that firm discipline had to be an essential aspect of his upbringing. ![]() His father took him to the United States when he was two-years-old.
