Drawn Across Borders
Book • 2021
“Drawn Across Borders: True Stories of Human Migration” is a non-fiction, illustrated book in which documentary artist George Butler records twelve real stories from the front lines of migration.
Through detailed pen-and-ink and watercolor drawings made on location in refugee camps, border crossings, and war-damaged towns, Butler introduces readers to the people behind the headlines and explores the many reasons—war, climate change, persecution, and economic hardship—that force individuals and families to leave their homes.
Aimed at readers aged about 10 and up, the book combines visual reportage with concise narrative text to offer a humane, accessible insight into one of the most urgent issues of our time.
