About this deal

Kate Milner studied Illustration at Central St Martin's before completing the MA in Children's Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. Her work has been published in magazines and her illustrations and prints have been shown in London galleries and national touring exhibitions. Kate won the V&A Student Illustration Award in 2016. BUT in my opinion, the story has been diluted. As a white female, I am privileged to only know of refugees from the stories of others and what I see on the news, however, regardless of whether this is a children’s book, I feel that this story does not reflect the true fear and panic that come from leaving a country not by choice. Each of the extension activities is designated a subject focusand is designed to deepen learning in skills and themes. Kate Milner has done an incredible job breaking down the emotional, mental and physical complexities of the refugee experience into a bittersweet and poignant story for your children. Milner's narrative is short, but certainly not sweet, as the unnamed child narrator recounts what their mother has told him and the unusual activities, scenes, sounds and scents that he explores on his way to his new home. This ‘quietly political’ side of the book is heightened by the way that it interacts directly with the reader, asking questions relating to the story and instigating a dialogue between child and co-reader. How did this come about? Was this planned from the onset?

(we don’t know). Are there any clues in the story? Show the children on the classroom’s globe the general areas where there are refugees today (Sudan, Syria/Turkey/Greece, Bangladesh/Thailand/Burma); See landscape paintings, video, sculpture, ceramics and photography that inspire a different way of thinking, alongside scents that are familiar in the regions from which the group have travelled. Explore what it means to find new connections in a different place, and ponder questions about our purpose, choices and morality as human beings. Discover a new view of life in Britain, in an exhibition of artworks chosen by a group of refugees and asylum seekers living in Colchester. on the classroom whiteboard, write some of the emotion words the children volunteered as you were reading (scared, confused, worried, sad, bored, lonely, etc). Ask the children to draw a picture of the little boy and what was happening in one part of the story. Children describe what was happening in that part of the story and how they think the little boy felt;

A powerful and moving exploration that draws the young reader into each stage of the journey, inviting the chance to imagine the decisions he or she would make. From the winner of the V&A Student Illustration Award 2016. My name is not Refugee’ has been curated by Elizabeth Curry, Münevver Gülsen Ülker, Samia, Diego Robirosa and Mr and Mrs Al-Chahin, working together with many more clients of and volunteers from Refugee Action Colchester, a voluntary organisation working with refugees, asylum seekers and people with no access to public funds. do you think his mum did a good job of explaining what would happen and what it would be like when they left their home? A young boy discusses the journey he is about to make with his mother. They will leave their town, she explains, and it will be sad but also a little bit exciting. They will have to say goodbye to friends and loved ones, and that will be difficult. They will have to walk and walk and walk, and although they will see many new and interesting things, it will be difficult at times too.This is a simple story with clear illustrations that help you imagine some of the things that refugees have to go through. The questions are a good way of making you really think about refugees and have sympathy for them, especially the children. I am interested in the way you use green as the main colour of the mum’s clothing but it is also reflected in the door knob in the waiting room. Is there a specific reason for that choice? the story is told through the eyes of the little boy. The illustrations focus on him and his facial expressions clearly show his feelings;
