- Summary:
-
"Today, in violence-torn regions across the globe, 20 million children have been uprooted, orphaned, or injured by war, famine, and poverty. This is their story ... and ours." "In this powerful and unforgettable book - by turns painful, funny, terrifying, and triumphant - Charles London takes us into the world of refugee children, celebrating their unique skills for survival and reflection. Their remarkable stories and drawings chill the blood and touch the heart, offering an indelible, firsthand portrait of the war that rages beyond the headlines."--BOOK JACKET.
