A little girl sees her mother's fear when war comes to their home. Fear is replaced with hope when they board a huge, shiny airplane. When it lands, they are somewhere new, and their Aunty welcomes them home. There are many new experiences, like the beautiful, fluffy snow. And the shrill school bell that reminds the little girl of the noises of war her family left behind. But as her sister not-so-patiently explains, "It's called recess. You'll get to like it." And she does.
