Lubna and Pebble

Lubna and Pebble's bond feels so genuine and tender. I'm curious what motivated Wendy Meddour to explore this theme in a children's book and how she approached balancing the serious with the lighthearted.

Pebble's presence seemed to represent hope and stability for Lubna. I'd love to hear if readers felt the same emotional resonance and how they interpret Pebble's role in the story.

The story delicately touches on complex issues without overwhelming young readers. I wonder what choices the author made to keep the message hopeful yet honest.
