"Over a thousand hills I walk with you"
This book is based on the true story of Jeanne d'Arc Umubyeyi, an 8 year old girl who was the only member of her family to survive the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Retold by her adoptive mother Hanna Jansen, the story is a poignant and moving testament of this horrific time in Rwanda. Can be used to address peace and conflict in the literature classroom - for MYP or older students.
