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.
Calais is where my work with refugees began, and my time there changed my life forever. Mathilda has compiled exactly why.
From Jasmin's list on migration and displacement from first-hand perspectives.
