The Line

This picture book tells the story of Radcliffe’s Partition line sensitively and from a child’s perspective. The beautiful illustrations depict the struggle of forced migration while also leaving the reader feeling a sense of hope. Featuring South Asian characters, the story maps the line that divided Pakistan and India, displacing Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims. A poignant book that helps children explore Partition at an age-appropriate level, while emphasising the importance of community and belonging.
