2. 2The Whispering WallsKarim's new house feels cold and quiet. He watches the rain streak down the windowpane, a constant reminder of how far away he is. He can hear his parents speaking softly, their voices laced with worry, but he doesn't understand their words.
3. 3The Big SchoolThe school is enormous, filled with loud children running everywhere. Karim hides behind his mother, his eyes wide. He doesn't know how to speak their language, and their games look confusing and scary. He just wants to disappear.
4. 4Lost in TranslationIn class, Karim stares at the whiteboard, the teacher's words a jumble of sounds. The other children giggle and point, and Karim shrinks further into himself. He can't share his drawings or answer questions, feeling invisible.
