Description

Omid stands for hope: it is this unwavering belief in hope which drives Omid's parents to search for safety in Europe. This promise to be 'the biggest adventure of their lives'. Although at eight-years-old, Omid finds both excitement and fear in the prospect of what is to come. He struggles to reason why he should leave all that is dear to him for the unknown that awaits.

"It wasn't me that wrote anything to upset anyone. Nobody wants to put me in prison." He protests, once the decision to leave is already made.

As events take a dangerously different turn, you will be forced to question everything you know about illegal crossings. Will our young hero's resilience, imagination and his grandmother's fairy tale, The old woman and the rolling Pumpkin be enough to survive unthinkable trauma?

The Rolling Pumpkin is a story of displacement, survival, friendship and the real monsters that lurk in our reality.
