"A refugee is a person, just like you and me. ..Most refugees would have preferred to stay in their country with their friends and family but it was too dangerous". An incredibly clear-as-daylight explanation of who refugees are and why they're forced to flee. Enhanced by quotes from 6 refugee children at the back (including children from Somalia, Syria and Afghanistan) and mini bios of seven famous refugees (includes Malala Yousafzai, Freddie Mercury and Bob Marley whose families all came to England). Perfection! 'Does a decent job of breaking down the legal definition for young readers' (Farrah, CLPE Learning Programme Leader, Letterbox Library reviewer). Age 4-8, Paperback 30pp
