Rukhsanna Guidroz Bücher
Rukhsanna Guidroz fühlt sich von fernen Orten und dem Zusammentreffen verschiedener Kulturen angezogen, was ihr eigenes multikulturelles Erbe widerspiegelt. Ihre Erfahrungen im Journalismus in Hongkong weckten in ihr den Wunsch nach einem langsameren Lebenstempo, das sie auf Hawaii fand. Das Schreiben ist für sie nun zu einer Möglichkeit geworden, neue Reisen anzutreten und dem Leser durch ihre Geschichten exotische Orte und universelle menschliche Sehnsüchte nahezubringen. Ihre Erzählungen bieten einen fesselnden Einblick in ferne Länder und die anhaltende Suche nach Verbindung.

A middle grade novel in verse about Samira, an eleven-year-old Rohingya refugee living in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh, who finds strength and sisterhood in a local surf club for girls. Samira thinks of her life as before and after: before the burning and violence in her village in Burma, when she and her best friend would play in the fields, and after, when her family was forced to flee. There's before the uncertain journey to Bangladesh by river, and after, when the river swallowed her nana and nani whole. And now, months after rebuilding a life in Bangladesh with her mama, baba, and brother, there's before Samira saw the Bengali surfer girls of Cox's Bazar, and after, when she decides she'll become one. Samira Surfs, written by Rukhsanna Guidroz with illustrations by Fahmida Azim, is a tender novel in verse about a young Rohingya girl's journey from isolation and persecution to sisterhood, and from fear to power.
