Refugee children explain in their own words and pictures their thoughts, feelings and experiences about having to flee from their home countries.
Produced in association with UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) and with a foreword from Cate Blanchett, Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, this highly emotive title focuses on three current refugee crises in Syria, South Sudan and Central America. Aimed at readers age 14+, the book gives background information about how each crisis came about, why families had to flee and what life is like for them now is given in a clear and easy-to-understand way.
Children from refugee camps were asked to draw about their experiences of having to flee their home countries. The children’s artwork is incredibly powerful and harrowing, and vividly highlights the impact that conflict, war and atrocities has on people’s lives.
