Esma's adventures in Morocco bring familiar family chaos to an extraordinary place. A vibrant, fun picture book celebrating multiculturalism. Esma is excited to be visiting family in Morocco. She can't wait to explore the souk – a giant market full of incredible acrobats, delicious-smelling spices, and cheeky monkeys. But while Esma is being charmed by swaying snakes, she loses track of Mama and Auntie Fatima. Esma is lost! With the help of the souk's lively inhabitants Esma makes a daring plan to find her mama. Will she be brave enough to step up and stand out? Inspired by their own families, authors Lisa Boersen and Hasna Elbaamrani offer a child's viewpoint of the bustling Marrakesh souk and its characters. Annelies Vandenbosch's illustrations are packed with brilliant details, bright colors and real warmth.
