This wordless book is something very, very special.
It is two books in one.
It is about two boys and their families from different worlds, one Australian, one Moroccan. It shows two different cultures, two different countries, two different families and the day-to-day life of each family.
The pages reveal how even though the two families are on different sides of the globe, living in different societies and different climates and in worlds under different forms of development, the way they care for each other, and the loving relationships within the family - families are still essentially the same. We are the Mirror of each other.
Created in Jeannie’s wonderful collage style, the pages of this story are two stories opening from the inside out, the two stories to be read "side-by-side".
This is a book to be devoured at all different ages, singularly or shared, looking for similarities and differences and pouring over the exquisite details of each illustration - and looking for the "belonging" of the family.
