A heartwarming and authentic immigration story about a stray dog, the power of music, and celebrating old traditions along with new beginnings, by Pura Belpre Award-winning author Yamile Saied Mendez. Maria Emilia's life turns upside-down when she and her family immigrate from Argentina to the US. How can she make new friends when simply speaking English all day is exhausting? Luckily, she has the company of a stray dog in the neighborhood, who happens to look and act just like her beloved pet cat back home. Eventually, it turns out the pup isn't a stray after all -- she belongs to Maria Emilia's new neighbor, Donovan. In order to spend more time with the dog (who totally isn't her reincarnated cat... right?), she agrees to sing in Donovan's band. But can Emilia find her new voice without losing herself?

Nathanaël naquit une nuit de 1939 dans une famille juive de Tunisie, entre une mère tunisienne et un père italien qui veillait de près à son travail : c'est par le haut que s'intègre un petit Juif italo-tunisien en France. L'auteur décrit avec émotion cette terre cosmopolite, de sable, de caps et de golfes, de relents nauséabonds et d'arômes magiques, de mendiants et de silhouettes voilées, de vagues entêtées à venir mourir sur le rivage. Une mosaïque de communautés y vivait dans un climat où se mêlaient cordialité et mépris.
