“ Migrants is deeply emotional, unsentimental, dignified, respectful, beautiful. It is about courage, getting up, continuing on, starting again. It demands full emotional attention and makes us want to read it again and again.” Julia Marshall, Publisher

Reviews

"I don’t think I can come up with enough superlatives for Watanabe’s superb illustrations. She captures a range of emotions in the faces of the anthropomorphic animals."
*The Pirate Tree*

"This book is perfect for exploring with children. It will open conversations around migration and what it means to leave home to seek refuge."
*Scottish BookTrust*

"It’s a rare feat: a wordless picture book in which the absence of text intensifies the stories it tells. With its stark dearth of color, seen only where necessary, and evocative imagery, the artist’s pictures make the migrant’s journey — distinct yet everyday — feel palpable. A raw, startling portrait of migration."
*Kirkus Review, starred.*

"Magnificent illustrations with black backgrounds and vibrant colors effectively tell this wordless tale about migration...The weight of their experience and message is powerful.
Outstanding International Book 2021"
*USBBY*

"An important story, told with sensitivity and a firm understanding of the form, this is an excellent wordless picture-book."
*Books Ireland*
