Description

A group of undocumented children with letters for names, are stuck living in a refugee camp, with stories to tell but no papers to provide them. As they try to forge a new family amongst themselves, they also long to keep memories of their old identities alive. Will they be heard and believed? And what will happen to them if they aren t? An astonishing piece of writing that will enchant and intrigue children; perfectly pitched at a 9+ readership.

About the Author

I am the son of a refugee, but that is not the reason why I wrote Child I. When I was a child I was a recipient of free school dinners, and charity bags full of toys and suchlike at Christmastime. We were a charity case and I had a foreign-sounding name - Tasane - and difficulty speaking English well. But in some ways, the worst thing of all, was that my father then deserted me and my three brothers, and my mother. We were a broken home. I hated being a broken child.
