I designed the cover so the front cover would be the cover of the Australian journey and the back cover the cover of the Moroccan journey. The English side opens as Americans are used to and the story is meant to be enjoyed by flipping the pages to the left.

Pictures that cleverly fold out from each side eloquently reveal the external differences and inner parallels that constitute their lives. Like each other, we live to be loved by family and friends, and be part of a larger family, a community. Inspiration came and sometimes went, but there always seemed to be something that held the book together.

This is a great book that I think all kids would enjoy because of how different the format of it is and it really tells an important story without actually using any words.

At about 6am just as dawn was starting, we stopped, tethered our mules or donkeys and the girls had soon made a blazing grass fire.

In the process of trying to be authentic and checking the details within my story, I have more and more interesting interactions with Berber people. And then she has to collect water from the well, milk the cow, find and collect eggs and bake bread for breakfast.
