On the Move: Poems About Migration

What you leave behind / Won't leave your mind. / But home is where you find it. / Home is where you find it.. Former Children's Laureates Michael Rosen and Sir Quentin Blake join forces for a landmark new collection focusing on migration and displacement. Michael’s poems are divided into four: in the first series he draws on his childhood as part of a first-generation Polish family living in London; in the second on his perception of the War as a young boy; in the third on his “missing” relatives and the Holocaust; and in the fourth and final on global experiences of migration. By turns charming shocking and heart-breaking this is an anthology with a story to tell and a powerful point to make: “You can only do something now.”
