We could look at this illustration all day. 🐦🌿

This stunning spread from Boundless Sky by Amanda Addison, illustrated by Manuela Adreani, shows Bird in full flight — surrounded by scattered petals and butterflies in the softest, dreamiest palette. There's something about the way the swallow soars through that misty teal sky that feels like pure freedom. ✨

Boundless Sky tells the parallel stories of a migrating swallow and a young girl fleeing northern Africa — two journeys, one boundless sky. A quiet and powerful story about belonging, migration, and finding your way home. 💙

Poignant and moving picture books about forced migration.

Now, more than ever, it’s important that we share these books with our children.

These picture books show us the humans behind the headlines, help build empathy and reveal the strength of the human spirit.

📔Looking for Lucie
Amanda Addison
Neem Tree Press
Publication date : April 18, 2024
272 pages, Paperback

Lucie has heard the question her whole life: “Where are you really from?” Growing up in a mostly white town, she doesn’t have an answer that satisfies anyone, including herself. Her mother is white, she has never met her father and her reflection doesn’t match the family she loves. Everyone tells her it shouldn’t matter. But it does. As Lucie turns eighteen, a new friendship with Nav, someone who knows exactly who he is and where he comes from, pushes her to confront the questions she’s been avoiding. If her past is a mystery and her identity feels incomplete, maybe the answers are out there waiting to be found. So Lucie does the one thing that might change everything: she takes a DNA test.

Looking for Lucie is a contemporary YA novel about identity, belonging and the courage it takes to ask hard questions about who you are and who you want to become.

Tomorrow (18 December) is International Migrant Day!

We have a soft spot for stories of migration and people on the move, whether it’s a children’s book about moving to a new house; poetry written by descendants of the Japanese diaspora; a political scientist’s position against borders; or a simple story embracing the legacy of tea and how it has travelled across the world.

Check out these titles (and more) on our website!

明日（12月18日）は国際移住者デーです！

新しい家への引っ越しにした絵本。日系移民の子孫による詩。国境撤廃を主張する政治学者の主張。世界中のお茶についてのシンプルな物語。すべて、マイグレーションの物語を表しています。

ぜひ、オンラインストアにチェックして下さい♪

Halfway through the Writing Retreat in the beautiful city of Taif in Saudi Arabia 🙌
A week ago, I had no idea of the inspiring and kind friends that I was going to meet here. We come from different cultures and countries, but we unite as one 🥹 I’m sure we’ll be lifelong friends and see each other in the future again.
Also met with some very notable cat writers and spoke important meowmeows to them. #unesco #taifcity #literature @citiesoflit
