Tycho Zeling is drifting through his life. Everything in it - school, friends, girls, plans for the future—just kind of...happens. Like a movie he presses play on but doesn't direct. So Tycho decides to break away from everything. He flies to America to spend his summer as a counselor at a summer camp, for international kids. It is there that Oliver walks in, another counselor, from Norway. And it is there that Tycho feels his life stop and begin again, finally, as his.  

Good parents everywhere know the tension of wanting our kids to be curious, to have rich experiences and friends...but to be perfectly safe while doing it. Little Fox knows all about it! His father warns him of the danger everywhere. But Little Fox still frolics with butterflies, scavenges for food, and searches for new friends. Then one day he takes a tumble, bumps his head, and starts dreaming of things that reflect both the beauty he's seen and the scary things he's heard. And when Little Fox wakes up, he's perhaps a little wiser, but still every bit as curious and full of life.

Roya and her family have made the long journey from Afghanistan to the Netherlands. But Roya was too young then to remember much—and her older brothers and parents don’t really like to talk about it. It’s only when the family welcomes a new member—Mishka, a little bunny rabbit—that they are all finally able to open up. Together Roya and Mishka listen to big Bashir, gentle Hamayun, tough Navid, and sometimes even Mom and Dad tell their story of how they got here.
