Over half of the world’s refugees are children. Lucy Popescu’s latest anthology, A Country to Call Home, explores the experiences of young refugees and asylum seekers and includes newly commissioned stories, flash fiction, poetry and essays by some of our best loved children’s writers. Lucy will be in discussion with contributor Sita Brahmachari.
