Lynne Jones' book "The Migrant Crisis: A Child's Perspective" explores the experiences of children who have fled their homes due to war, disaster, and poverty. Through direct testimony and eyewitness accounts, Jones provides a vivid and harrowing account of the challenges these children face as they navigate a foreign country, often alone and without support. The book highlights the indifference and hostility faced by migrants seeking refuge in the richest countries in the world, as well as the resourcefulness and creativity they have displayed in response to their difficult circumstances. Jones' diaries document the shift from a compassionate welcome to indifference and hostility, and show how migrants and volunteers have created a new form of humanitarianism that challenges old ways of working. With 79 million forcibly displaced people in the world today, understanding the perspectives of people on the move has never been more important. Jones' profits from the book will be donated to the charity CHOOSE LOVE/HELP REFUGEES.
