It' s Rashin' s first day of school in America! Everything is a different shape than what she' s used to: from the foods on her breakfast plate to the letters in the books! And the kid' s families are from all over! The new teacher asks each child to imagine the shape of home on a map. Rashin knows right away what she' ll say: Iran looks like a cat! What will the other kids say? What about the country your family is originally from? Is it shaped like an apple? A boot? A torch? Open this book to join Rashin in discovering the true things that shape a place called home.
