Waves is a narrative nonfiction book about the waves of migration to the shores of Australia. Every journey is perilous, every situation heartbreaking. Every refugee is a person forced by famine or war or fear to leave their home, their families, their friends and all they know. Children have travelled on the waves of migration to the shores of Australia for tens of thousands of years. This book tells some of their stories.
Waves is beautifully written, with equally stunning illustrations. The cover alone is worthy of framing! * The Golden Adventures * I love narrative non-fiction books (both for kids and in my own reading time) and this is a fantastic example. * Bookish Bron * Waves is a book that should, and I would like to think will, have a special place in homes and schools everywhere. Its themes are relevant for everyone. * Kids' Book Review *
