On the Move: Poems About Migration

Former Childrens Laureates Michael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a personal and uniquely affecting collection of poems about migration.\r\nWhat you leave behind \r\nWont leave your mind.\r\nBut home is where you find it.\r\nHome is where you find it.\r\nMichael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a landmark new collection, focusing on migration and displacement. Michaels 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.
