A Flicker of Hope: A Story of Migration
Illustrator
A Flicker of Hope is an especially strong diverse picture book for linking migration, family separation, and the natural world in a way young readers can follow. Cynthia Harmony parallels the monarch butterflies' journey with a girl's long wait for her migrant-farmworker father to return home, creating a story that is both intimate and expansive. For collections focused on BIPOC picture books, immigrant-family stories, and science-connected read-alouds, this is a standout title. Especially useful for talking about migration, memory, language, and belonging. Best for ages 4 to 8, with enough depth for conversation after the last page. Rogers.
