Migrants by Issa Watanabe is a breathtaking wordless picture book about courage, empathy, and the realities of migration. A group of animals leaves their barren forest, travelling through unfamiliar landscapes, crossing borders, facing loss, and holding on to one another until they reach a new place to call home. Watanabe’s illustrations carry the story with remarkable depth. Every character—each animal dressed in its own colours and patterns—feels alive and individual, making the journey universal and deeply human. The dark backgrounds echo the weight of their silence, the uncertainty, and the hope stitched through each step forward. A powerful starting point for conversations with kids about refugees, displacement, and compassion, Migrants is a quiet, moving story that stays with you long after the last page.
