Book about refugee girl

When the numbers involved are so large and the news so overwhelming it’s possible for those fortunate enough to be standing outside it to lose sight of the individuals and humanity at the heart of what’s become known as the ‘refugee crisis.’

Here, we share stories – including both fiction and non-fiction – of people who have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, extreme hunger or climate change, or have moved from one country to another in search of opportunity.

With narratives that span continents and generations, and insights both hard and hopeful, each book gives a unique perspective, offering empathy and solace to those with shared experiences, and the opportunity to refocus and increase understanding for those without.

Here are our reading suggestions of books about refugees and migration.
