The international bestselling author of The Kite Runner responds to the current refugee crisis with this lyrical, beautifully illustrated short work of fiction. On a moonlit beach a father speaks to his sleeping son of his childhood days, recalling his grandfather's house in Syria, the stirring of olive trees in the breeze, the bleating of his grandmother's goat. And he remembers Homs as it was before the skies spat bombs ... For people of all ages, all over the world.
