A timely and timeless retelling of the Christmas story, inspired by refugee children everywhere.



"A book to share with a lump in your throat and an ache in your heart." - Chris Riddell, Former Children's Laureate



In this powerful and evocative story, Jesus, Mary and Joseph flee Herod before finding sanctuary in Egypt. Uniquely, it is told in the voice of the donkey who carries them all to safety.

Heartfelt in its message about the struggle of refugees and the kindness of strangers, this book is as relevant today as when it was first published ten years ago.



Nosy Crow is partnering with War Child UK to raise vital funds and awareness for their work to support children affected by conflict through the release of the 10th anniversary edition of Refuge. £1 from every War Child copy sold is being donated to support their lifechanging work around the world.

Anne Booth (Author)
Anne Booth has always wanted to be a children's writer, but on the way to becoming one has worked in many jobs. Anne lives in Kent in a lovely village with her husband and four children - and the children's grandfather across the road. They have two hens called Poppy and Anastasia. Anne loves tea and once won a Blue Peter badge for writing a poem about two mice in a bucket of rice. Despite this, she does not own any mice.

Sam's debut Can You See Sassoon? was shortlisted for the Waterstones Prize and the Red House Children's Book Award. When he's not holding a pen and wobbling at paper you'll find him playing the piano, eating chocolate and trespassing.
