Description
Aya, an eleven-year-old girl, has just arrived in Britain with her mother and baby brother, seeking asylum from war in Syria. She soon discovers a local ballet class where a formidable dance teacher recognizes her exceptional talent and believes she has the potential to earn a prestigious ballet scholarship. However, Aya and her family must also navigate the challenges of finding a new home and reuniting with Aya's father, who was separated from them during their journey. As Aya pursues her passion for dance, she must also confront the difficulties of her new life in a foreign country. With her family's future uncertain, Aya must find a way to balance her love of dance with the need to stay strong and focused on her goals. This powerful and moving story explores the complexities of displacement, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit.
