Product Description
Today, in violence-torn regions across the globe, 20 million children have been uprooted, orphaned, or injured by war, famine, and poverty. This is their story . . . and ours. In this powerful and unforgettable book--by turns painful, funny, terrifying, and triumphant--Charles London takes us into the world of refugee children, celebrating their unique skills for survival and reflection. Their remarkable stories and drawings chill the blood and touch the heart, offering an indelible, first hand portrait of the war that rages beyond the headlines.

 Worth reading January 6, 2009
Rebecca N. Phillips
A good basic read around some of the worlds most current conflicts (Burma, Bosnia, Congo), with some basic history that the world hasn't changed that much since roman times. I would recommend it as an introduction to how war affects children and their families and some of the history of what these conflicts have been based around.
It has made me want to improve my world histroy further as I'm not sure too many people have a grip on the actual vs what the general media feeds us.

Charles London has written a compelling and disturbing book speaking for children who are victims of wars created by the adults around them. His writing style is engaging and the children's stories are clearly told. This book is an important read for anyone who cares about children and their place in the world.
