Based on a the original poem written for a newspaper article about a specific incident with child refugees I 2016, the illustrations and break down of this book is a perfect way to help children understand, through the eyes of another child, how it might feel to lose everything.

Though on a first read the story may seem simple, this book would make a perfect discussion piece of poetic techniques such as repetition (the repetition of the school subjects for example), similes and metaphors, describing language (such as the difficult terrains the character had to get across) and use of speech.

It could also be used as a starter for an art project, as the illustrations are simple, emotive and inspiring.
