Readers get to experience the joy, confusion, and homesickness with Kek as he experiences distinctly American things that we never give a second thought – puffy winter coats, french fries, washing machines in the basements of our apartment buildings. Written in verse that’s not quite prose but not quite poetry, Home of the Brave follows Kek as he emigrates from his home in Africa and begins his new life in Minnesota with extended family that recently made the same journey.
