Waves is about the waves of migration that have taken place over the centuries. It is made up of 14 first person narratives that describe the motivation and the journey. Every journey is perilous, every situation heartbreaking. Every refugee is a person forced by famine or war or fear to leave their home, their families, their friends and all they know.

Children have travelled on the waves of migration to the shores of Australia for tens of thousands of years. This book tells some of their stories.
