The Day War Came

商品描述

這本震撼人心的繪本，講述了一個孩子在戰爭摧毀了她所熟悉的一切後，不得不踏上難民之路的故事。

想像一下，在某個平凡的日子裡，戰爭突然降臨，將你的城鎮夷為平地。你被迫獨自踏上一段漫長而艱困的旅程。然而當你終於抵達目的地，迎接你的卻是冷漠與拒絕。就在此時，一個孩子給了你一件看似微小、卻無比珍貴的禮物⋯⋯

2016年，英國政府拒絕接納3000名兒童難民，作者Nicola Davies深感憤怒，創作了一首詩作為回應。這首詩激發了許多藝術家創作以椅子為主題的作品——椅子代表著教室中的一席之地、學習的權利、善意的接納，以及對明天的希望。這首詩後來改編成繪本，搭配Rebecca Cobb細膩感人的插畫，為年幼讀者提供了理解難民議題的珍貴視角。

A powerful and necessary picture book – the journey of a child forced to become a refugee when war destroys everything she has ever known.

Imagine if, on an ordinary day, war came. Imagine it turned your town to rubble. Imagine going on a long and difficult journey – all alone. Imagine finding no welcome at the end of it. Then imagine a child who gives you something small but very, very precious...

When the government refused to allow 3000 child refugees to enter this country in 2016, Nicola Davies was so angry she wrote a poem. It started a campaign for which artists contributed drawings of chairs, symbolising a seat in a classroom, education, kindness, the hope of a future. The poem has become this book, movingly illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, which should prove a powerful aid for explaining the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers.
