Migrando by Mariana Chiesa Mateos

This book can be read from the front or back to the middle, but must be flipped at that point to read the rest. It tells the stories of two sets of immigrants: the Europeans that traveled to America in the early twentieth century, and the twenty-first century refugees sailing in the Mediterranean in an attempt to reach European shores. It is a gentle book with a strong message, told in a way that makes it possible to share with even very young children. 

The book is supported by Amnesty International, which considers it to be a subtle and poetic way of approaching the duty of protection and the right of asylum.
