| Summary: | "A moving and stunningly illustrated exploration of the refugee experience, through the eyes of those most impacted: children. Taking Flight offers an intimate look at being a refugee by following three different children. From the mountains of Tibet, the cotton fields in Syria, and a city in Ukraine, families pack their bags and say goodbye to their homes as they leave in search of safety. Although they don't know what the future holds -- maybe an extended time in a refugee camp or a long journey to a place with a new language--they hope that it will be a place they can call home. Told in second person, directly addressing a displaced child, and with deeply evocative illustrations from Nicolò€ Carozzi, Taking Flight is a timely and necessary story that offers gentle reassurance and hope for readers." -- |
