As a way of helping them deal with the trauma of their flight and their arrival in a strange, sometimes hostile adoptive country, she brought together a number of second-hand suitcases and gave them to the children to paint their personal stories and recent histories. This book tells, in the children's own words and through their art, their remarkable stories of hardship and longing, strength and resilience.
