My Name is Not Refugee

This is a book, so it does what it says on the cover. It arrived quickly. What else can I say? It was bought for a fan, and they enjoy the book.

Fantastic book to explain to a child what a refugee is.

A beautifully illustrated picture book by talented debut author illustrator Kate Milner. My Name is Not Refugee follows the journey of a young boy and his mother to a new country and some of the things they will encounter (new foods, unknown languages) along the way. The book is written in a way that young children can discuss and learn about the refugee crisis in a safe and age appropriate way. I love the simple limited colour palette, line drawings and patterns throughout the book and the extra questions that sit alongside the text for an adult to ask the child is really clever. 'You'll be called refugee, but remember, refugee is not your name'

What a wonderful book. My name is not refugee deals with a sensitive subject in a way that is easily accessible by young children. Beautiful illustrations and thought provoking text make it a delight for children, parents and teachers.

Highly recommend for all ages - important to diversify literature and representation. Beautiful pictures and words.
