Ice Cream for Nur

A beautiful and very contemporarily story about a family who welcomes a new member into their lives.

Tim is an only child, but that is about to change. He’s getting an adopted sister called Nur, who comes from the other side of the globe and is the same age as him. The story explores the concept of sharing a room and one’s life with a new family member, with all the ups and downs it entails.

The author describes in a simple and clear fashion how the life of an ordinary boy changes when a girl, who at first speaks a different language, has different habits and possesses a different set of skills, enters his life. The predominantly realistic yet poetic story tackles the (unfortunately) repetitive and current topic involving children who are forced to leave their homeland for various reasons and are left to fend for themselves along the way.
