I am interested in the way you use green as the main colour of the mum’s clothing but it is also reflected in the door knob in the waiting room. Is there a specific reason for that choice?

I especially loved the little side questions that allow you to interact and engage with your child while reading the book. Very clever, and very inspiring. Kate Milner has done an incredible job breaking down the emotional, mental and physical complexities of the refugee experience into a bittersweet and poignant story for your children. Milner's narrative is short, but certainly not sweet, as the unnamed child narrator recounts what their mother has told him and the unusual activities, scenes, sounds and scents that he explores on his way to his new home. You can introduce children to the concept of migration and refugees with this lovely The Long Way Here (A Refugee Story) Story PowerPoint. When is World Refugee Day? And those refugee children, who are so much more open to change and are capable of adapting to new environments more readily than adults and experience things differently, to see them through Milner's words, it's truly moving.on the classroom whiteboard, write some of the emotion words the children volunteered as you were reading (scared, confused, worried, sad, bored, lonely, etc). Ask the children to draw a picture of the little boy and what was happening in one part of the story. Children describe what was happening in that part of the story and how they think the little boy felt; See landscape paintings, video, sculpture, ceramics and photography that inspire a different way of thinking, alongside scents that are familiar in the regions from which the group have travelled. Explore what it means to find new connections in a different place, and ponder questions about our purpose, choices and morality as human beings. This book meant well, and was well-received (I suspect 100% because of the subject matter rather than the execution), but, when it comes down to it, it completely misrepresents refugees, the situations they face, and the discrimination that's always there.

Since asylum can be a confusing issue for children (and even adults), here are some books that explore what it really means to flee your home and have to start your life over. A young boy discusses the journey he is about to make with his mother. They will leave their town, she explains, and it will be sad but also a little bit exciting. They will have to say goodbye to friends and loved ones, and that will be difficult. They will have to walk and walk and walk, and although they will see many new and interesting things, it will be hard at times too. Use Kate Milner's My Name is Not Refugee or the International New Arrivals: Rita Ora Case Study to support young children's understanding of the refugee crisis. In this increasingly complex and difficult world we live in, I've been looking for books that help to explain and support younger readers. They have often proven of immense value to myself and the dual appeal of texts like this to both adult and child cannot be ignored. Step towards children's books if you're struggling to find answers; there's something to be said for the pure poetics and the stylistic truths that can exist in this space.
