Media Reviews
A very topical subject and one that our children really need to know about ... the book is an open and balanced tool for opening discussions around these sensitive issues, well-illustrated with contemporary illustrations. It helps children and young people to really understand the plight of refugees, encouraging them to think about the situation. * Parents In Touch *
An excellent KS3 introduction and analysis of various refugees and migrants fleeing war and poverty, with a particular focus on the current refugee crisis affecting the Middle East. * The School Librarian *
If you wondering how to talk to children about refugees I highly recommend this book. - The Godbers Travel blog
