Former Children' s Laureates Michael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a personal and uniquely affecting collection of poems about migration. "What you leave behind Won' t leave your mind. But home is where you find it. Home is where you find it. " Michael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a landmark new collection, focusing on migration and displacement. Michael' s poems are divided into four: in the first series, he draws on his childhood as part of a first-generation Polish family living in London; in the second, on his perception of the War as a young boy; in the third, on his "missing" relatives and the Holocaust; and in the fourth, and final, on global experiences of migration. By turns charming, shocking and heart-breaking, this is an anthology with a story to tell and a powerful point to make: "You can only do something now. "
Michael Rosen is one of the most popular authors for children. His bestselling titles published by Walker Books include We' re Going on a Bear Hunt, A Great Big Cuddle, Little Rabbit Foo Foo, Michael Rosen' s Sad Book, Tiny Little Fly andWhat Is Poetry? . Michael received the Eleanor Farjeon Award for distinguished services to children' s literature in 1997, and was the Children' s Laureate from 2007 to 2009. He presents radio programmes for the BBC, and is a political commentator. Quentin Blake is one of the world' s foremost illustrators, particularly renowned for his collaboration with Roald Dahl.
