Full Description
A powerful story about Partition, with a hopeful message at
its heart.
I would draw lines that would lasso us to our neighbours and keep
us close for all time. I would draw lines that made us feel safe
together.
When a line divides the country of India, a little girl and her family
are forced to leave their home. On her journey, the girl thinks
about what she would do differently if she was in charge
of a line with so much power.
She would draw lines that brought people together, despite their
differences.
Her lines would make people friends. Her lines would make the world
a better place.
Bringing together award-winning Indian author, Swapna Haddow,
with British-Pakistani illustrator, Farah Shah, representing both
sides of Partition

handle the subject matter with care, suitable for a young audience
Based around a historic event, but with important themes that
are still very relevant today
