One Green Apple
Eve Bunting
2006
Farrah
is in a new school, in a new country.
She feels no connection with the other students, especially not speaking
the language. During the events of a
field trip, she is able to make connections to home.
I can't imagine what is would feel like to move to a different country and have to make my way without knowing how to communicate. I also cannot imagine being a child or taking my own child and moving to a new country where we don't speak the native language. I think as humans we are always looking for a connection to something that is familiar. This is exactly what Farrah does in One Green Apple.
