The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) cites an unprecedented 79.5 million forcibly displaced people on the planet today. In 2018, Dina Nayeri-a former refugee herself and the daughter of a refugee-invited documentary photographer Anna Bosch Miralpeix to accompany her to Katsikas, a refugee camp outside Ioannina, Greece, to record the hopes and struggles of ten of them-siblings and friends from Iran and Afghanistan. "I wanted to play with them, to enter their imagined worlds, to see the landscape inside their minds," she says. Ranging in age from five to seventeen, the children live in partitioned shipping-crate homes crowded on a field below a mountain. Robbed of curiosity and purpose, dignity and identity, each battles the dreary monster of a paused life. The lyrical passages lead one into the next, punctuated by intimate photographs, to reveal the dreams, ambitions, and personalities of each displaced child, followed by a powerful account of the author's own experiences in a camp. Locking the global refugee crisis sharply in focus, The Waiting Place is an urgent call to change what we teach young people about the nature of home and safety"-- Audience:  Ages 12 Candlewick Press   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 305.90691 Nayeri Checked out 06/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library J -- Juvenile Nonfiction 305.90691 Na Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
