World Kid Lit Month 2021: SYRIA

SYRIA: 

Boy, everywhere. 

By A. M. Dassu; cover illustration by Zainab Daby Faidhi. 

Forced to sell all their belongings and leave their friends and beloved grandmother behind, Sami and his family travel across the Middle East to Turkey, where they end up in a smuggler's den. From there, they cross the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean and manage to fly to England, only to be separated and detained in an immigration prison for the crime of seeking asylum. Yet the transition from refugee to immigrant in a new life will be the greatest challenge Sami has ever faced.
