Collision
Key Selling Points When two ships crash in the canal in Daniel’s hometown, people are discovered in one of their shipping containers, hungry and weak. Since his parents are frontline workers, Daniel gets a firsthand view of how the aftermath unfolds, and he develops a friendship with one of the survivors, a boy his age who comes to live with his family. Eric Walters and Danson Mutinda have woven a sensitive and touching story that gives readers an age-appropriate understanding of human smuggling, and an empathetic perspective on why people risk their lives to find new homes. The story doesn’t shy away from some of the closed-mindedness and prejudice that can rear its head in reaction to refugees, but its focus is on how the community rallies to help the newcomers, and how love is stronger than hate. A fictional take on real-life stories of migrants who risk their lives boarding shipping containers to travel to safer destinations. Eric Walters and Danson Mutinda have collaborated previously on the book Hockey Night in Kenya.
