What happens when you are forced from your home? What would you take? What kind of places would have have to live in to survive? Why must you never let your parents out of your sight? This story told in first person narrative from the perspective of a young boy as they travels across borders, past camps to a safer place. Milner purposefully keeps the places and people muted and culturally open as she is telling the story of not one family but that of millions who have been displaced from their home and seek refuge. The illustrations are excellent and promote a lot of talk - personally, I would not have had the questions but I can see how they would prompt discussion where it may not have happened before. Still, an excellent addition to the steadily growing canon of books about refugees.
