Out

By Angela May George and Owen Swan, Scholastic Press, 2016.

I’m called an asylum seeker, but that’s not my name.

Out is the moving story of a little girl and her mother who have fled from danger in their homeland. They travel by boat on a long and perilous journey to seek asylum in a new and safe land. This story is timely and celebrates how the human spirit can triumph even through the darkest times. The little girl and her mother build a new life and await the arrival of the little girl’s father at the end of the story.
