Azzi In Between first came to my attention following it winning the inaugural Little Rebels Children’s Book Award . Beautifully illustrated, it conveys perfectly Azzi's feelings of loss and displacement in an absorbing, and ultimately uplifting, adventure story. I was really impressed with this book--it showed just enough of the child's view on war and on being a refugee to make the reader anxious and afraid, but not so much that it would overwhelm or trigger a kid. I think that it is very relevant at the moment, and it would be a good book to address any ideas or misconceptions children may have about refugees.

This book would be great to read to a class that has children who have recently moved to England due to war in their home country. This, coupled with the review it got over at Playing By The Book meant that it was one book that was very much on my radar.The book is very emotive and even made me cry, therefore, I'm not sure it would be suitable for younger children. I'd recommend this book to share with Y2 upwards, particularly in PHSE lessons, and it would be a good resource for Refugee Week. We experience her struggles to adapt to her new life and how she copes with missing what she had to leave behind.

This is a beautifully told, beautifully drawn story of a young girl who becomes a refugee and flees her home country with her parents. They have to leave their home and escape to another country on a frightening journey by car and boat. This is a moving tale of a refugee family told in graphic novel style and so appealing to a wide range of younger readers. From the perspective of a little girl (age not determined but early primary school), it paints a picture of what it was like for one so innocent, just having fun as kids do but watching the soldiers and listening to helicopters and guns, then the escape. The comic book esc layout allows younger children to engage with the story even without the words, and provides a layout of which they will probably be familiar with, allowing them to interact further with the story.

It tells the story of Azzi, a refugee who fled from her own country which was experiencing war to come and live in England.

But Azzi is resourceful and brave; slowly she learns how to adapt to her new life in a safe country. This book would help American children understand the perspective of some refugee children coming to our schools and might help those refugees feel that they're not alone. She misses her grandma and dad is unhappy as he is not allowed to work and earn a living for his family in this country. War is in their country, the children often see loud helicopter gunships flying by and soldiers marching on their street.

Exploration of the facets that build a sense of belonging would be so essential to discuss, helping to increase awareness that a journey to safety is not over through the mere crossing of territory, and worries do not always heal by distancing oneself from the place of danger. There is a war taking place in Azzi's home country and her and her family must leave their home and escape to another country.

This was an amazing book that clearly displays the emotions and events that could take a place for a family who have to leave a country. She's crafted a kind, warm-hearted and very very quietly provocative book centred around the journey of the titular Azzi.The reader must only feel joy when Azzi begins life at her new school and is reunited with Grandma, as a happy family.
