A powerful and necessary picture book - the journey of a child forced to become a refugee when war destroys everything she has ever known. Imagine if, on an ordinary day, war came. Imagine it turned your town to rubble. Imagine going on a long and difficult journey - all alone. Imagine finding no welcome at the end of it. Then imagine a child who gives you something small but very, very precious ... When the government refused to allow 3000 child refugees to enter this country in 2016, Nicola Davies was so angry she wrote a poem. It started a campaign for which artists contributed drawings of chairs, symbolising a seat in a classroom, education, kindness, the hope of a future. The poem has become this book, movingly illustrated by Rebecca Cobb, which should prove a powerful aid for explaining the ongoing refugee crisis to younger readers.… (meer)

A sad book written to help children understand war and being a war refugee. The art goes well with the story, painting an image of the horror and sorrow of war, without being too frightening or gory. ( )

Kudos to Nicola Davies for trying to write a book for children about the plight of refugees and for her financial support donating book proceeds to a British refugee organization. For me, the book left too many questions unanswered: where did this happen? what happened to the little girl's family? where did she go? I think these questions were intentionally left unanswered, but I think a curious child would want more information. And the symbolism of a refugee child being turned away from a school because of the lack of a chair is pretty obvious, at least for adults. ( )

A child's town is attacked because of a war and she travels and travels until she comes to a school where she is told she cannot attend. The children of the school bring her and other refugee children chairs so they can sit and come to class. The girl loses all of her family and travels alone for miles and miles before she finds the school she is not initially welcomed at. This story is incredibly sad and while it is about a refugee child, unlike The Journey which is another story about refugees, this little girl is all alone with no family. The kindness of the other students is what the little girls says will drown out the war in her heart. The war is not over but these kind acts will help her get through the war. ( )

The Day War Came is an excellent book to discuss so many different areas. My class and I explored the sensory details and poetic style. Empathy and understanding for those displaced by war and finding those with a kind heart who celebrate our differences. ( )

An absolutely beautiful story that penetrates the heart and seeds hope when there is little of it.
