A Pocketful of Stars
Aisha Bushby
Thirteen-year-old Safiya feels distant from her Kuwaiti mother, especially after choosing to live with her father following her parents’ divorce. When her mother has a stroke and enters a coma, Safiya is frightened and guilty about their last argument. At the hospital, she begins moving through memories of her mother’s youth in Kuwait. Each visit works like a video-game quest, requiring Safiya to identify an object from a memory and find it in the real world to unlock another.
