The purpose of this book is to dispel myths about refugees and, crucially, to inform and entertain.
Climate change is predicted to displace around 1 billion people by 2050, a staggering number. More people will be displaced by war, famine, and poverty. At this very moment, the Taliban are flooding across Afghanistan, displacing thousands. The only certainty the future seems to hold is a growing number of crises.
Refugees are not going anywhere; they are here to stay.
So, GET USED TO IT!
This book is a tale of love, success, and triumph over adversity, but also a tale of war, pain, and hardship.
