Chittering monkey. In spring he climbs treetops, And thinks himself tall. In winter he lies down Like the rest of us all. Sadie Smith, 10Washington, DC

I am a new flower in a tree a unique red bird in a nest full of blue birds. A fish out of water. I am the school’s newborn. My school is a new jungle in my head. Ikran Mohamed, 11Minneapolis, MN; Somalia   About the Project There are millions of children affected by war, social collapse, and climate change now living in refugee camps, or dispersed in host countries far from their original homes.
