In this picture book, children and their families leave their various homelands around the world, travelling by boat to seek a new life in Australia. Spanning 50,000 years to the present, in each of these brief 15 stories, a child recounts their experiences. The illustrations capture the various cultures and boats from different time periods. The sense of hope for a new life along with a sense of uncertainty and underlying resilience of families offers readers a positive and informative experience.
