Buying a present can be such a tricky thing because you need to come up with something special and inspiring that also says all the right things about you.
Which is why we thought that giving a book about refugees was such a good idea.
It says that you are imaginative, considerate, tolerant and open to other cultures and new experiences; that you have tonnes of empathy, sense of humour and good taste. It also suggests that you care very much about the recipient and that you think they posses all of these qualities as well.
So, next time you want to charm and impress, check the list of books about refugees on our website – you will be surprised to discover that exile and refugees pop up in all sorts of unusual places, from Paddington Bear to Romeo and Juliet.
