On the Move: Poems About Migration by Michael Rosen & Quentin Blake

 "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.

Illustrated in Quentin Blake's imitable style, Michael's poems are divided into four sections: 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."
