Beschreibung
A powerful story about Partition, with a hopeful message
at its heart.

"I would draw lines that would lasso us to our neighbours
and keep us close for all time. I would draw lines that made us feel
safe together."

When a line divides the country of India, a little girl and her
family are forced to leave their home. On her journey, the girl
thinks about what she would do differently if she was in
charge of a line with so much power.

She would draw lines that brought people together, despite their
differences. Her lines would make people friends. Her lines would
make the world a better place.

  • Bringing together award-winning Indian author, Swapna Haddow,
    with British-Pakistani illustrator, Farah Shah, representing both
    sides of Partition
  • The hopeful message of the story and warmth of the illustrations
    handle the subject matter with care, suitable for a young audience
  • Based around a historic event, but with important themes that
    are still very relevant today
  • Includes a spread at the back of the book with facts about
    the Partition of India
