Where Will I Live by Rosemary Mccarney
Where do you go if your home is no longer safe? Every child needs a home. They need somewhere safe where they can be happy, eat their meals with their family, play with their toys, and go to sleep at night feeling unafraid. But many children all over the world have had to leave their homes because they are no longer safe. Because of war and conflict, they and their families have become refugees. For them life is hard and full of questions. In spite of everything, they find time to laugh, play, and make friends. And most importantly, they have hope that somewhere, someone will welcome them to a new home. Where Will I Live? will help children whose lives are not directly affected by this crisis think about the importance of home, and what life is like for a child refugee who does not have a permanent, safe home to shelter them and their family. The beautiful photographs in this book were taken by the UNHCR-the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees-and include images of children on the move and in refugee camps in countries such as Lebanon, Rwanda, Iraq, Niger, Hungary, Jordan, South Sudan, and Greece.
"A poignant photojournalistic look at the issues confronting refugee children and their families.. The true power of the book lies in its ability to spark classroom conversations, highlighting the need for cultural awareness and compassion" -School Library Journal; "Introduces young readers to the refugee crisis, using pictures and simple words to tackle the subject. [Books like this] do a great and important job in giving an insight into their lives. They remind us that children are children, no matter their situation or circumstance - they laugh and cry, feel happy and sad, but most of all just want a safe place to call home." -Big Issue
