It's an important story, gently told. The horror of war is underplayed and handled sensitively - no one reading this is going to have sleepless nights - but it does bring home the reality of being a refugee. At a time when 'immigration' is a political hot potato it's essential that people understand what lies behind some people's journey to another - to any - country. I hope that I haven't made the book sound worthy, because it's far better than that. Whilst the difficulties are outlined, the story is ultimately optimistic and uplifting. I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
Sarah Garland writes superb books for young children. We've recently been impressed with [[Eddie's Tent and How to go Camping by Sarah Garland|Eddie's Tent and How to go Camping]]. We think that [[Where's the Elephant? by Barroux]] is another important book which everyone should readas is [[When Spring Comes to the DMZ by Uk-Bae Lee]].
