"Throughout history, ordinary people have been forced to leave their families and homes because of war, famine, slavery, intolerance, economic and political upheaval, or climate change. These remarkable true stories of escape show how courageous people all around the world have overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their flight to freedom"--Amazon.

Chan Hak-chi and Li Kit-hing, a couple, tie themselves to each other with a rope and swim for six hours across a shark-ridden bay to reach Hong Kong and escape famine and systemic state persecution in mainland China. Joachim Neumann and his friends dig a tunnel under the Berlin Wall in the 1960s and facilitate the escape of 57 people to West Germany, including Joachim’s girlfriend. Harriet Tubman, once enslaved herself, risks torture and death to help an estimated 70 others escape slavery. Other stories recount escapes related to climate change in Kiribati, violence and poverty in Mexico, war in Syria, and more. Each spread features one case with real-life, named heroes either from the recent past or who are craftily connected to our present time. For example, the son of Russom Keflezighi, who walked the equivalent of 10 marathons away from danger in his Eritrean homeland, won both the New York and Boston marathons in the U.S. Many featured refugees and immigrants settle in the U.S. as their final destination, making the book particularly accessible to American audiences. Adorned with mostly abstract illustrations of people walking, swimming, biking, and even flying while fleeing danger, the book poignantly ends with two short articles from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on rights and freedoms related to movement.
An arresting collection of deep, accessible stories of people on the move. (Informational picture book. 9-14)
