"Dear Malala, we have never met before, but I feel like I know
you." Malala Yousafzai is an inspiration. A young girl living in
Pakistan, she was shot by the Taliban simply because she wanted to
go to school. Since that moment, she has captured the attention of
the world with her bravery, becoming a voice for the rights of
girls everywhere. This is a letter to Malala, illustrated with
beautiful photographs. Girls from around the world express their
sympathy, sisterhood and admiration for her. Many of them know
first-hand the barriers that stand in the way of girls going to
school - barriers like poverty, discrimination and violence. In
Malala these girls recognize a leader, a champion, and a friend.
Where do you go if your home is no longer safe? Every child needs a
home. They need somewhere safe where they can be happy, eat their
meals with their family, play with their toys, and go to sleep at
night feeling unafraid. But many children all over the world have
had to leave their homes because they are no longer safe. Because
of war and conflict, they and their families have become refugees.
For them life is hard and full of questions. In spite of
everything, they find time to laugh, play, and make friends. And
most importantly, they have hope that somewhere, someone will
welcome them to a new home. Where Will I Live? will help children
whose lives are not directly affected by this crisis think about
the importance of home, and what life is like for a child refugee
who does not have a permanent, safe home to shelter them and their
family. The beautiful photographs in this book were taken by the
UNHCR-the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees-and include
images of children on the move and in refugee camps in countries
such as Lebanon, Rwanda, Iraq, Niger, Hungary, Jordan, South Sudan,
and Greece.
