This is a poignant and inspiring collection of stories by refugee children from all over the world. Told through their eyes, it promises to be a compelling insight into the plight of the world's refugees. The youngest contributor, six-year-old Wachen Bohlen left war-torn Liberia, but wants to return because 'it is my country. It is my home.' The oldest is fifteen-year-old Merci Ngubi from the Congo who spent two weeks trekking in the jungle with his family after fleeing from their home. Publication will coincide with International Refugee Week.

About the Author:
Beverley Naidoo is a South African author exiled from her home country in 1965, as a student campaigning against apartheid. Her first children's novel, Journey To Jo'burg, was banned in South Africa when it was published in 1985 and only became available there after Nelson Mandela's release from jail in 1991. Journey To Jo'burg was published in many other countries around the world and was widely praised for its eloquent, moving, and accessible story. Her later novel, The Other Side of Truth, won the Carnegie Medal in 2000. She has written many other award-winning books for children. Naidoo lives in the UK.
