Summary, Etc. Based on the author's childhood, young Kimia flees her home in Iran with just her grandmother's suitcase and fills it with stories from her travels across the globe. A Suitcase Full is a heartfelt picture book about the love of family, the power of one's story, and the beauty of embracing change while leaving and finding home. When a young girl's family is forced to flee Iran, there isn't time to make a plan. With only one suitcase, Kimia is forced to leave behind many cherished possessions as well as say goodbye to her beloved grandmother, Nana-joon. As years pass, the family lives in vibrant cities like London and Paris, but are never able to stay for long. After traveling halfway around the world, they finally find a new place to call home on the island of O'ahu. When Kimia's new teacher assigns the class a special project--bringing a suitcase filled with meaningful objects--Kimia finds a way to weave her past into her present, celebrating both her roots and her growth.
