One boy at the back of the class
No one knew from where he came
One girl befriended him
And told the world his name.
1 sister, perished at sea
2 parents, lost then found
3 bullies, calling him names
4 friends, save the day
5 secret plans, including the Greatest Idea In The World.
6 seeds from a pomegranate, the perfect taste of home.
7 of the Queen’s special guards, marching in a line
8 reporters, chasing the tale of Ahmet: The Most Famous Refugee Boy in the World.
9 years old, the age of the friends, all different, yet all the same
10 plus one – questions asked by Alexa as she got to know her friend
With Ahmet and his parents united
This story had a happy end
We learned of the plight of refugees
And the power of a friend
There are many refugees in the world
Often children, lost and all alone
What can you do
To help all those who seek asylum and a home?
