Told in Joanna Ho's lyrical writing, this is the story behind Ai Weiwei's Lifejackets exhibit at Konzerthaus Berlin. As conditions for refugees got worse, Ai Weiwei was inspired by the discarded lifejackets on the shores of Lesbos to create a bold installation that would grab the attention of the world. With Catia Chien's dynamic and stunning illustrations, we see how Ai Weiwei became the activist and artist he is today while proving the power of art within humanity.\u003cbr\u003e\n39882\tWe Belong Here tells a touching story of friendship between a Japanese boy and Jewish girl that takes place in Canada, soon after the end of World War II. While the setting is historical, the themes are perennial and, sadly, feel more timely than ever. This story takes place in the 1950s, a few years after the end of World War II. As we know, that war was fought on two fronts. One front was against the Nazis in Europe. The other against Japan after the Japanese government bombed Pearl Harbour in Hawaii in 1941. We Belong Here tells a story of allyship, ingenuity and loyalty in friendship. It brings through the best of community, and allows the children to take actions that make a difference.\u003cbr\u003e\n39883\tDivya is scared to put on the bindi for the first time.

By 2025, this percentage is predicted to rise to nearly one quarter of the total population.

Lorsque son intervenante lui annonce qu’elle lui a trouvé un nouveau foyer,  c’est à contrecœur qu’Émilie accepte de déménager une fois de plus. Pourtant, cette fois, ce sera différent. Et pas seulement parce que les personnes qui l’accueillent sont transgenres tout comme elle, mais parce qu’elles sont déterminées à lui prouver qu’elle a sa place dans cette famille. Pendant ce temps, son père, avec qui elle demeure en contact, semble avoir repris le contrôle de sa vie et lui fait miroiter la  possibilité de vivre ensemble de nouveau.
