A beautiful book about two brothers trying to make it to Europe. The main focus is on the youngest brother, Ebo. Who finds out his brother has left him to go to Europe and decides no to stay alone any longer (their sister left a long time ago) and go after him. I loved that we have two time lines. The Then when Ebo searches for his brother (and finding him) and the Now with them on a boat searching for sanctuary in Europe. It was a heartbreaking gorgeous book, the ending had me crying so many tears. The art was also gorgeous. I would highly recommend this book to everyone. Bring tissues.
