The Doll

A young girl and her family arrive in an airport in a new country. They are refugees, migrants who have traveled across the world to find safety. Strangers greet them, and one of them gives the little girl a doll. Decades later, that girl grows up and has the chance to welcome a group of refugees to her adopted country. To the youngest girl she gives a doll, remembering the difference it made in making her feel welcome. This book was inspired by author Nhung N. Tran-Davies's experiences as a child refugee from Vietnam and then sponsoring a family of Syrian refugees as an adult.
