Who are refugees and migrants? What makes people leave their homes? : and other big questions / Michael Rosen & Annemarie Young.

Every day in the news we see and hear people described as refugees, asylum seekers and migrants leaving their homes and taking difficult, sometimes life-threatening journeys to new countries. What has made them leave, and what should the countries that receive them do about the situation? What links us all as human beings, and what happens when people are denied their human rights? In this book, we'll help you to understand migration, the movement of people, in all its forms. Our aim is to get you to think for yourselves about the big questions raised by the subject, and then use your answers to make your own list of human rights that you think all people should share. We'll hear a range of views from people who have personal experience of migration, including the campaigners Meltem Avcil and Muzoon Almellehan, the comedian and actor Omid Djalili and the poet Benjamin Zephaniah.
