Welcome to Litsy!

Threads is a moving, heartbreaking, informative graphic memoir first published in 2017. In it, artist and author Kate Evans shares about her experiences volunteering in the Calais Jungle and Dunkirk refugee camps and gives the reader glimpses into the lives and ongoing trauma of the many people who sought shelter there. She makes an impassioned cry for the humane, compassionate, and respectful treatment of refugees. Heartbreaking and infuriating.

Published in 2017, this piece of graphic-journalism by cartoonist Kate Evans of her experiences as a volunteer at the Calais Jungle refugee camp is hugely informative and humane. Sadly, the more difficulties the governments of Britain and France have gotten into since this was written, the harsher their anti-migrant rhetoric has become.
@arlenefinnigan As you've commented in your review, so many people I'd like to sit down with this book!

Stories like this make me so horrendously furious. Please stop pretending that we in the West are the good guys in this situation because we have proved that we aren't. We're just the ones born geographically lucky. It's heartbreaking.

This isn't a book to be judged but one that everyone who has the ability to vote should be forced to read and analyze the images.

My dog had to keep comforting me because he sensed my anger and frustration.

Yeah I'm like SUPERRRRRRR over humans. We can be removed.

"...the police decide to implement a new, arbitrary rule. They prevent people from carrying any bread on to the camp.

18th February, 2016...Dunkerque, France...This really happened."

Dogs appeased by a walk means I can read another book before dinner! Yeah! #6 for the Life & Lit Graphic Novel challenge
