Her family falls victim to the ecological disaster called the Dust Bowl, which dries up the land for years. Refusing to emigrate, her father is determined to stay home, so the family must face many difficulties, not only due to the drought, but also because of an unexpected accident. A verse novel that expresses the protagonist’s vision of loss, perseverance, and hope. Lo que dejo atrás What I Leave Behind Alison McGhee (text) Mauricio Gómez Morín (illustration) Walk and walk, many times without direction, with the sole purpose of getting away from the pain. Will has done this since he was thirteen. He is now sixteen and it may seem that his whole life goes by in the same unimportant places. But it is not like that. With each thought, each walk at dawn, with every little gift that he hopes ease the sadness that surrounds him, and each attempt to recreate a recipe he never learned, Will reminds us of the transcendence of the seemingly irrelevant and the void that stays after what is left behind. A hundred chapters with a hundredwords each, where introspection opens windows towards the sublime feelings that arise from the tragedy of life.

For his classmates, he is just a dark- skinned guy with hairy arms that makes things up. Nonetheless, Khosrou’s stories are beautiful and terrifying. They span from the moment his family flees Iran in the middle of the night, with the secret police following their steps; passing through the cold refugee camps in Italy; to the city of Isfahan, which smells of jasmine interspersed with scenes from his new life in Oklahoma. Like a Scheherazade, the narrative voice in this bookweaves a story to explore the strange adventure of Daniel's life, as well as that of the heroinewho always guides and protects him.
