Paper Boats is a compelling collection of 21 short stories for Years 7 and 8 written by students from immigrant, refugee or asylum seeker backgrounds, reflecting their origins, journey and arrival in Australia. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes uplifting, these powerful stories let students glimpse the hardship and dangers other students have endured to reach this country. A donation of 15% of net sales will go Afghan Red Crescent Society, the Afghan affiliate of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
