After losing her leg in an accident, Aria receives a prosthesis. But her new leg makes sitting on the hard classroom floor uncomfortable. So she decides to take matters into her own hands and build a bench! The girls at school tell her she can't do it: only boys can build things. But Aria knows she can do anything she wants, and with the help of her mother, her brother, and the kind carpenter in town, she finds the courage, peace, and wisdom she needs for this new chapter in her life.
Based on part of the author's personal experience growing up in Afghanistan, this beautiful story teaches perseverance in the face of adversity.
