This book centres on one of the huge global issues of our time: the refugee crisis. It does so with enormous sensitivity and even humour. One of the successes of this book is that, while it doesn’t shy away from the trauma of the crisis, it makes it accessible to the young reader. It does this through its characters – the children around Ahmet – who are always asking questions to try to understand the world around them. For example, the author tackles people’s attitudes toward refugees throughout the book. This is mostly done via children relaying and querying what they have heard adults saying to them. It is this questioning, and the conversations that follow, that really help the reader to ask their own questions about refugees and, through that, to begin to form their own opinions. (TES Review)
