Written by Canada’s UN Ambassador Rosemary McCarney, WHERE WILL I LIVE? was carefully and lovingly written as a teaching tool for western children to help them understand what they see and hear in the news about the refugee crisis and children their own age displaced by war and famine. The book will help them understand that regardless of armed assailants, drone strikes, and corrupt politicians, displaced children all over the world are just like them and in desperate need of a home they can call their own. The striking photography shows the hidden beauty each of these children share as they continue to move forward towards better days.
