A book!

We've started again collecting thoughts and feelings from children and adults about growing up with or without freedom. Because... a book is coming!!

But it'll take a while, as it's a lot of work. It will be a beautiful, colorful book. The most beautiful stories, poems, and (children's) drawings will be included. What are their experiences? What is their perspective on the Dutch from the asylum seekers' center? What do they long for, and what do they laugh about?

The graphic design will be done by the fantastic Martijn de Wilde! Yippie ah yay!
