"A desperate last hope for safety and freedom. The plight of refugees risking their lives at sea has, unfortunately, made the headlines all too often in the past few years. This book presents five true stories, from 1939 to today, about young people who lived through the harrowing experience of setting sail in search of asylum: Ruth and her family board the St. Louis to escape Nazism; Phu sets out alone from war-torn Vietnam; Jose? tries to reach the United States from Cuba; Najeeba fl es Afghanistan and the Taliban; and after losing his family, Mohamed abandons his village on the Ivory Coast in search of a new life. Stormy Seas combines a vivid and contemporary collage-based design with dramatic storytelling to produce a book that makes for riveting reading as well as a source of timely information. These remarkable accounts will give readers a keen appreciation of the devastating effects of war and poverty on youth like themselves, and helps put the mounting current refugee crisis into stark context."--… (més)

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley.
  fernandie | Sep 15, 2022 |
There is a Table of Contents at the beginning of the book and on 2 pages is a brief timeline from 1670-1914 of boat refugees. There are 5 chapters in the book that is dedicated to a different person and their refugee story. Each chapter has how old the person was, where they were leaving, why they were leaving, and where they hope to go. Each chapter includes quotes from the people and what ultimaentaly happened to them, and statistics on what happened toe the boat. There are maps for each chapter photographs of some of the people, drawlings of some of what was happening in the book, and photographs of buildings and ships. At the end is 2 more pages that have the boat refugee timeline from 1939 to 2016, as well as resources used. ( )

A quick read with lots of history and personal stories of leaving home included. Each chapter focuses on an immigrant from a different time & place. The story contextualizes the persons choice, gives a quote about that person's experience, and does a what happened next.
This book would be a great teaching tool and provide insight into the plight and drive of refugees. ( )

Stormy Seas is a book about immigration. It tells multiple individual stories about children migrating away from their homes to escape to a better place. The illustrations and photos help bring the story to life. Children will understand how serious and dangerous their lives became. It's frightening and eye opening.

The book gives information about where they're coming from, why, when, number of passengers, name of boat, destination, events that took place along the way, and their fate.

I highly recommend this book for schools, libraries, and parents.

Thanks Netgalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review. ( )

STORMY SEAS by Mary Beth Leatherdale tells the refugee stories of five young people from around the globe.
Using collage-based design, this highly-illustrated book shares the true stories of boys and girls who sought to escape violence or poverty by sailing to a new country. Fact boxes, sidebars, timelines, and other informational asides contribute to the value of this work of nonfiction for both literature activities and social studies reports.
Librarians will find this timely book to be popular with upper elementary and middle school youth. The unusual illustrations are an added draw for young readers.
