Sunny and the Birds — Wendy Meddour

An evocative story about belonging, home, and kindness from the author of Lubna and Pebble.Sunny and his family have just arrived in a new country, but while Sunny is curious and hopeful, his father misses the familiar sounds and sights of the home they left behind, especially the birds—collared doves cooing in the soft morning light and swallows swooping at sunset. Determined to help, Sunny comes up with a way to bring a piece of their old home back to his father. A tender, evocative story about migration, memory, and the small ways we carry home with us. With the graceful imagery of birds woven throughout, this book gently honors the ache of displacement and the resilience of love. Ideal for families navigating big changes—or for anyone seeking to understand them.
