- from "my hometown is a suitcase"

By the time Marion Lougheed turned eighteen, she’d moved house eleven times. When she was seven, her family flew from Canada to Benin. Later they moved back to Canada, and then to Belgium and Germany. She went to school in three languages.

This poetry collection is for all her fellow child migrants, third culture kids, hippie kids, cross-culture kids, missionary kids, foster kids, refugees, military brats, and other displaced, uprooted, and mobile children.

Original illustrations by Sarah Balsley, an artist with a mobile childhood of her own.
