Amira’s Magpie is a story of friendship, family, and escape; of bravery and resilience in the face of hardship. It is the story of hope we find in small happinesses, even when it seems like all hope is lost.

In the evocative and primarily monochrome illustrations, we see Amira living in some kind of compound. Her beloved grandfather lives a long way away, and as she remembers him, Amira imagines her magpie flying backwards and forwards between them, bringing news of home.

In a beautifully lyrical way, this gentle yet powerful story reminds us of asylum seekers and anyone who longs for home.

An outstanding book for older picture book readers and for education and awareness in schools.
