Azzi in Between

Azzi in Between is a modern-day immigration story. We learned in school of the waves of immigration that occured in early 1900s as a result of famine and lack of work in Europe. Nowadays, we are finding that in addition to those seeking employment, there are also families leaving their home countries to find refuge from war.

This is a graphic novel that shows the reader the fear while fleeing from harm, the stuggle to integrate into a new country, and sometimes the guilt for those left behind.
