This beautiful picture book is about an ordinary, happy family and the journey they have to take when war comes to their country. ‘The further we go, the more we leave behind’ the narrator tells us. Through simple language and powerful images we are given a depth of understanding of the desperation which forces people to make the most dangerous of modern journeys.

The pictures in this book were lovely. I would have liked more detail in the story but there was a lot of detail in the pictures that I liked. It was sad to see how many people were affected in this way. The words were beautiful because they weaved together and seemed to make a song. Altogether I thought it was a fantastic book.
I thought this was a very nice book and I like how the author got some stories from the real refugees to write this book. I loved the illustrations because of the detail in them and they are so different from illustrations in other books. I’d give it 5/5!
