Give Me Shelter

The phrase asylum seeker is one heard in the media all the time. It stimulates fierce and controversial debate in arguments about migration, race, and religion. The movement of people from poor or struggling countries to those where there may be opportunities for a better life has been a constant in human history, but it is something with particular relevance in this time of wide scale political and social upheaval. Featuring stories from youth based in trouble spots around the world including Kosovo, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Eritrea, Zaire, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Zimbabwe, and Kurdistan this collection of stories spotlights people who have been forced to leave their homes or families to seek help and shelter elsewhere. This book has no political axe to grind, simply recording the truth of these children’s stories without assigning blame. Some are about young people traveling to other countries; others are concerned with young ones left behind when parents are forced to flee. These are stories about physical and emotional suffering but also about humanity of both those who endure unimaginable hardship and those who help them.

Offering warnings and inspiration in equal measure, the stories cover a wide range of localities, from Siberia and Canada to Australia, UK, the United States, Zambia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. Writers include the award winning Linda Newbery, as well as exciting newcomers such as Australia’s George Ivanoff all compiled and introduced by acclaimed anthologist, author, and editor Tony Bradman. Whether read from cover to cover or dipped into for one or two stories, and whether read individually or included in school work on the topic, this book enlightens and inspires everyone to consider how the highly topical issue of climate change affects us all. Timely and hugely relevant, these stories are also full of warmth and humor.
