This book features nineteen interviews with Iraqi children between the ages of eight and nineteen, all of whom fled Iraq because of the Iraq War. At the time of the interviews, they were all living in Jordan. The children describe their experiences, their hopes, and their feelings about the United States. Michael, age twelve, says, "I have nothing in common with American children, except if there is maybe an American child whose father has died, whose house is destroyed. . . . Then he and I would have something to talk about." Introduction. Glossary. Further reading. Black-and-white photographs.
