Migrants - Issa Watanabe

Migrants is a vital and powerful wordless picture book of courage, loss and hope—the definitive story of what it takes to migrate to a new land

Illustrated by Issa Watanabe

This book narrates, with extraordinarily powerful images, the journey of a group of animals that leaves behind a leafless, nocturnal forest. It is the story of a great and unique migration, a journey where borders must be crossed, sacrifices made, loved ones left behind.

With forceful simplicity, Migrants shows us the courage migration takes. Death looms throughout the journey. And arriving may mean burying a portion of the past.
