Marwan’s Journey is made of courage and memories that live far away in his homeland. Marwan is a child who, along with millions of other human beings, crosses seas and deserts fleeing war and
hunger in search of another place.One step and another, a border, a mother’s voice… this is Marwan’s journey. And we follow his path, walking hand in hand with him towards freedom.

I walk, and my footstepsleave a traceof ancient stories,
of songs of my homeland,of the smell of tea and bread,jasmine and earth.

I walk…and I don’t know when I will get there,
or where I am going.I carry a heavy bag.

My mended clothing,a prayer book,a notebook, a pencil,a photograph of my Mommy.

Sometimes, in the cold night,I cry out to her in my dreams.She comes and tucks me inwith her black hairand floury hands.

She says:–Marwan, keep going,walk, and walk, and walk.And I keep walking.

I remember a house.Mommy lit the fire
when night fell,and Daddy told stories
of our homeland.There was a garden, a cat
and a ray of sunlight that shoneevery morning on my pillow.
![Page 20: Marwan’s Journey - The ChoiceMaker · Marwan’s Journey Patricia de Arias Illustrated by Laura Borràs 9 789563 640106 Marwan’s Journey is made of courage and memories that live](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011917/5fec9bce87832d20417cfef7/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
One day they came…The night became colder,darker, deeper,and swallowed up everything:my house, my garden, my homeland.

After that, we walked for one day,two,three…
![Page 23: Marwan’s Journey - The ChoiceMaker · Marwan’s Journey Patricia de Arias Illustrated by Laura Borràs 9 789563 640106 Marwan’s Journey is made of courage and memories that live](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011917/5fec9bce87832d20417cfef7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hundreds of people,thousands of feet,one in front of the other.

One…two…
three…
A line of humans like antscrossing the desert.
–Marwan, keep walking,don’t look back…
And I don’t look back.

Ahead liesthe border.They say that it is aninfinite linethat separates thedesert from the sea.
Another country, another house,another language.
Stories of other homelands.
