Description 1 volume of unnumbered pages : colour illustrations ; 24 x 27 cm Summary Tonight is the night. The family has to flee. They've been tipped off that the authorities are after their blood. Set in biblical times, a small family sets off across a desert in search of refuge from persecution in their own country, and an ancient story becomes a fable for our times. Their journey is beset by heat and thirst, threatening tanks and the loss of their donkey, but eventually they reach a refugee camp where they can wait in safety for asylum in another country. In this first-time collaboration between multi-award-winning author, Nadia Wheatley, and internationally-renowned illustrator, Armin Greder, words and images blend seamlessly to take readers on a journey they will never forget Analysis Australian Notes A story of refugees and their situation Audience For primary school age Notes Text copyright © Nadia Wheatley ; illustrations copyright © Armin Greder Shortlisted for the Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Award 2016, Picture Book of the Year Subject Australian fiction.
