About this deal

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? In this increasingly complex and difficult world we live in, I've been looking for books that help to explain and support younger readers. They have often proven of immense value to myself and the dual appeal of texts like this to both adult and child cannot be ignored. Step towards children's books if you're struggling to find answers; there's something to be said for the pure poetics and the stylistic truths that can exist in this space. On winning the Klaus Flugge Prize 2018, Kate Milner said:“I felt absolutely amazed and delighted when I heard that I’d won. I was very, very pleased to be shortlisted but I explained to everyone at the time that there was absolutely no chance of me winning. I was quite clear about this. When I got the good news I was alone in the house apart from my son who was still asleep. I was beside myself with delight; he didn’t get to stay asleep long. In fact it is very simple, every bit of the art work is drawn with a pencil so that each image has three or four drawings, one for each colour like a lithograph or a screen print. It is then scanned in and coloured on the computer. 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.

Enjoy some of our recommended books for younger children from around the world!These books range from explorations of our planet to translated works from far flung places. They cover genres of adventure, humour and fantasy. There's something for all types of children, what's important is that they all show tales beyond the familiar. 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. 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. And the journey was long, and it wasn't always easy, we can see that. But the ending made me smile and I was happy for both the little boy and his mom. I am very pleased with the way the colour has worked in the book but the credit really goes to Barrington Stoke’s art department. When I originally drew the book it existed only in a very muddy navy blue and a rusty brown which was obviously never going to work in the children’s market.

Skills :It focuses on developing the following skills: empathy, gratitude, kindness, respect, equality, sharing, working together, thinking in role, imaginative response This book meant well, and was well-received (I suspect 100% because of the subject matter rather than the execution), but, when it comes down to it, it completely misrepresents refugees, the situations they face, and the discrimination that's always there.

Each of the extension activities is designated a subject focusand is designed to deepen learning in skills and themes. the journey of refugees: what happens when people leave their homes and seek safety in another country; read the book, including the invitations to the children to imagine what they would do.

These are heavy subjects for children, but I'm the daughter of a refugee. My aunts were refugees. My grandparents were refugees. Now - with Russia's ongoing aggression against their neighbours - half of my extended family have been refugees for the past seven years. Kate Milner ( @ABagForKatie) studied illustration at Central St Martin’s, and has just completed an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University. Her work has been published in magazines concerned with Housing, Law and Business; and her illustrations and prints have been shown in London galleries and national touring exhibitions. She is the recipient of the 2016 V&A Student Illustrator of the Year Award. the mother tells her son that, though he will be called ‘refugee’, that is not his name. The message is that becoming a refugee does not change who he is as a person; 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. And, they will have to walk and walk and walk. Although they will see many new and interesting things, it will be difficult at times too. 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. Thanks so much for your lovely message and for everything that you do with Book Wagon. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do.

On their journey, the little boy sees interesting new things and hears different languages. He sleeps in peculiar places and eats strange food. Sometimes it is exciting, but also scary and often very boring. When they reach a safe place to make a new home, the boy must remember that although children may call him Refugee, that is not his real name. 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. Kate Milner simply and clearly explains to a young audience the journey a refugee makes when fleeing their home. The book is narrated from the perspective of a young boy who is told by his mother that they have to leave their town as it is unsafe. As well as being highly illustrated to engage the young mind, the book includes small questions in separate boxes to try and get the reader to consider what it would be like if they were a refugee. This is an innovative way to engage a young audience and help them begin to empathize with the difficulties that refugees face. I was instantly in love with the cover, the art on it was pretty. It still took me a bit before I actually read it though. Nothing against refugees, I am happy that we can give these people a chance for a safe life, a happy life. But there is just SO MUCH about refugees, books about them (from picture books to YA), or authors just moving refugee characters in their books. At first I was quite interested in reading these books, but after months of seeing it everywhere... it just gets too much. Sorry. :(
