By Francesca Sanna
A family like yours or mine, torn apart and scared by war that has broken out near their home decides to leave the only place they've ever known and set out on a long and dangerous journey for a safer place. Through their journey, the tired, fearful and loving family notices that the birds have followed them the whole way and together, they have migrated to a new place.
Written at an extremely relevant time in our world's history, The Journey is a meaningful and significant story to share with children. In plain and straightforward language that will take the reader and listener through a series of emotions, the story of a migrant is told. Without placing the migrants in a specific country or giving them a definite race, this could easily be the story of any migrant or refugee fleeing one country and coming to another. Beautiful, unique and intricate illustrations add to the emotional impact of the story. Appropriate for children (and even adults) of all ages to help understand and empathize with this current event in the human condition.
