young readers.'AS SEEN IN COMMENT ARTICLE BY NICKY PARKER, AMNESTY
INTERNATIONAL"We endorse picture books for young children, such as
Azzi in Between, which is about a refugee child… We need to move
beyond the status quo."The book presents the reader with a window
into the life of a refugee family – or, perhaps more importantly,
it may present the reader with a mirror, that reflects back a
character who they can relate to on a personal level.This is a
wonderful story.A vital, emotional and impactive book that will be
read, re-read and celebrated as one of the most important
children's books of all time.
