Moving to a new country is hard enough, especially when you have to do it alone during a national travel ban. When the pressures of a new school, a new language, and new bullies leaves Poupeh selectively mute, she struggles to find her voice which leaves her family pleading "Say something, Poupeh Babaee!"

Poupeh Babaee is an Iranian girl sent to live with her relatives in the United States. Although Poupeh understands and speaks English, the stress of entering a new school in a foreign land renders her mute, and she is diagnosed with selective mutism. Worse yet, a travel ban--which labels Iran a "dangerous country"--has barred her parents from entering the US!

In order to help her parents immigrate, Poupeh must find a way to speak up for them during an interview with an embassy officer or risk being separated. This powerful, heart-warming graphic novel debut shows the bravery and courage of a young girl who will do anything to reunite her family.
