My Name is Maryam

COLLECTION Mouche
Category Children's Books
Age 6-9
Maryam Madjidi has won multiple awards for her novel Marx et la poupée. This story, written from a child’s perspective, examines rootlessness, a subject seldom tackled in children’s literature.

Maryam and her mom and dad must leave the country where she was born. She will have to leave her dolls behind. Juggle two languages: a new one and the one she speaks at home. Eat dishes she's never tasted before. Learn a new place where nobody knows her. A place where she will have to start all over. Then someone asks her: "What’s your name?"
