This book is history in the making. Iconic, heart-breaking, and so, so powerful.
It is such a simple concept and a truly accessible introduction to the situation for asylum seekers in Calais, which I personally experienced during my time volunteering there. It’s visual and easy to pick up and put down, which successfully and impactfully breaks down a huge topic. A topic, place, and issue very close to my heart.

From Jasmin's list on migration and displacement from first-hand perspectives.
