Where Will I Live?

March 7, 2017, Toronto—This powerful and timely photo-based picture book for young readers tells the story of the hundreds of thousands of children around the world who have been forced to flee their homes due to war and terror—young refugees on the move with very little left except questions.

Written by Rosemary McCarney, Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations, Where Will I Live? will help children whose lives are not directly affected by this crisis think about the importance of home, and what life is like for a child refugee who does not have a permanent, safe home to shelter them and their family. The final message the book imparts is that children, even with uncertain futures, are amazingly resilient. They can find fun and friendship in even the most difficult of conditions, and can face uncertainty with optimism.

The beautiful photographs in this book were taken by the UNHCR—the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees—and include images of children on the move and in refugee camps in countries such as Lebanon, Rwanda, Iraq, Niger, Hungary, Jordan, South Sudan, and Greece.
