Gradam Réics Carló – Gearrliosta 2020

Tá Nizar i bhfad ó bhaile. B’éigean dó a bhaile sa tSiria a fhágáil nuair a thosaigh an cogadh. Tá cónaí anois air in óstán in Éirinn, agus níl a fhios aige cén fhad a bheidh sé ann. Tá an saol an-deacair ar Nizar. Ansin, lá amháin, bualann sé le cara nua, atá imithe ar strae…

Údar
Tá rath mór ar Patricia Forde mar údar do pháistí, i mBéarla agus i nGaeilge. D’fhoilsigh Little Island leabhair dá cuid cheana agus le dhá bhliain anuas, tá sraith tagtha dá cuid ó Egmont, i Londain.

Nizar is a boy far from home, the war-torn land of Syria. A refugee, he lives in a converted hotel as his mother waits for news of permission to stay and news of Nizar’s father, lost in the fog of war. When Nizar meets a stray neglected dog, he decides to hide it in his room, a decision that adds to the boy’s already uncertain future.
