The French writer / illustrator Barroux writes and illustrates books for young children about our worldwide contemporary problems. In Welcome, with it's funny, colorful drawings and pointy texts, he makes the real not-at-all-funny problems of migration clearly visible. Barroux tackles more difficult subjects for young children in search and find picture books, like pollution of the oceans (Where is the starfish?) and deforestation (Where is the elephant?).
When the ice melts and the polar bears drift away from their land they need to find a new home quickly. But that is easier said than done! Everywhere on land others live there and those residents do not want the 'strangers' moving in. Read this book!
