With haunting echoes of current affairs, this beautifully illustrated book explores the unimaginable decisions made as a family leave their home and everything they know to escape the turmoil and tragedy brought by war. 4. 9 x 15. 1. After meeting them I realized that behind their journey lay something very powerful. A few months later, in September 2014, when I started studying a Master of Arts in Illustration at the Academy of Lucerne, I knew I wanted to create a book about these true stories.

I have two refugee students in my ESL class. Even though there were only a couple of sentences per page, it's actually still quite wordy.
I'd probably not use it with younger children, especially if their refugee memories are quite recent. The texts were a little small as well, so reading together as a group was not as convenient.
Given that their English proficiency is quite low (absolute beginners), this book was a bit of a challenge to them. I do wish the pages were more sturdy, perhaps thicker or with some sort of coating. I know it's probably not the happiest experience, thinking about what they've gone through, but the discussion of the book, I think, made them realize that they are not alone. Anyway, the students seemed interested as some of it may have echoed their own experiences.
When I saw this book, I thought it would be something I could share with them. Since they're high school students, I found that using this in my ESL class was appropriate.
