This is a moving picture book, that shares of the initial unwelcome refugees can sometimes face when arriving in a new place. The story tells of the love of children in a class, naive to the politics of the world, inviting other children into their world by giving up their own chair in the classroom and opening up their community to refugees. Emotive in its nature, with a potent message about the power of kindness and hope, the book ignited a campaign where people posted images of empty chairs as symbols of solidarity with children who had lost everything to war in their home countries. Published in association with Help Refugees, it is a powerful tool for opening up discussions about the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers.
