Zana Fraillon felt compelled to write her novel The Bone Sparrow because she could not ignore the millions of people who were being forcibly displaced and the millions of children missing out on a childhood. Zana comments, “The Bone Sparrow was written so we remember the people behind the statistics. Those 65 million stories waiting to be told, those 33 million children wondering if their futures will ever be realised. It was written so we can find the courage to stand for humanity, and the wisdom to imagine a different world. It was written so we may all live in hope.”
The Bone Sparrow is The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas for refugees. It tells the story of Subhi, a 10-year-old boy who has spent his entire life living in a refugee detention centre after his mother and sister fled the violence of their homeland. Subhi’s story is just one story, but we believe it gives voice to a million refugees. We’re taking the responsibility of this subject matter very seriously. Amnesty International UK is endorsing this book.
We are giving away 10 copies of The Bone Sparrow. For your chance to win, simply answer the following question:
Subhi is a 10-year-old boy who has spent his entire life where?
