When Sangoel's family leaves the refugee camp for their new home, the Wise One tells him, "Remember, you will always be a Dinka. You will be Sangoel. Even in America." For Sangoel, America is big and different and cold. No one can pronounce his name-not Mrs. Johnson, who meets his family at the airport, not the teacher, and not his classmates. Mama tells him, "America is our home now. Perhaps you need an American name." But Sangoel cannot forget the Wise One's words. Full-color mixed-media illustrations.
