Description
A powerful picture book about a child's journey when war destroys everything she has ever known. On an ordinary day, war turns her town to rubble, forcing her to embark on a long and difficult journey alone. She faces rejection at the end of her journey, but finds something precious in the process. Nicola Davies' poem, which started as a response to the government's refusal to allow child refugees to enter the country in 2016, has become a moving book. Illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, it aims to explain the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers. The book's powerful message is conveyed through simple yet effective text and images.
