Book Review

The Journey
by Francesca Sanna

by Isobel Moore, Jun 2016

This picture book is beautiful and heartbreaking and hopeful, all wrapped up in one. It depicts the journey of a family fleeing their home country and seeking refuge overseas. With stunning illustrations and simple text, Sanna drew from real stories to create this timely piece. I absolutely cannot emphasise enough how touching and vital this book is, and I would encourage readers of all ages to pick it up and engage in the dialogue it opens up. Reading it sent shivers down my spine. Sanna has created a new classic to be reread over the years. This is an important book with all the weight that that word suggests, and I loved it.
