The Suitcase

"The Suitcase" is a remarkable picture book that encourages reflection on strangers and refugees. One day, an exhausted stranger appears with only a suitcase. Everyone is brimming with questions. What is he doing? Where does he come from? And what is in that mysterious suitcase? "The Suitcase" is a heartwarming story about hope and kindness, and the way we treat people in need. With just a few characters and simple illustrations, Chris Naylor-Ballesteros has created a poignant and moving story that will give parents and children pause for thought. Powerful in its simplicity. Khaled Hosseini, author of the bestselling "The Kite Runner," is deeply impressed by "The Suitcase": "At a time when more than 65 million people are fleeing violence, this beautifully illustrated and moving story about showing kindness to strangers is deeply moving. I hope all parents will read "The Suitcase" with their children."
