After meeting them I realized that behind their journey lay something very powerful. So I began collecting more stories of migration and interviewing many people from many different countries. A few months later, in September 2014, when I started studying a Master of Arts in Illustration at the Academy of Lucerne, I knew I wanted to create a book about these true stories. Almost every day on the news we hear the terms \"migrants\" and \"refugees\" but we rarely ever speak to or hear the personal journeys that they have had to take. This book is a collage of all those personal stories and the incredible strength of the people within them.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is it like to have to leave everything behind and travel many miles to somewhere unfamiliar and strange?
