Vanessa Agnew, Academy in Exile Council Member and Director of the Critical Thinking Program at Freie Universität Berlin, has released the children’s book “Wir schaffen das – We’ll make it” under the pen name Marius Brereton.
This is the story of a child fleeing with his toy elephant from a home that has been ravaged by war. The powerful lino print illustrations and the appropriately childlike tone convey a sense of hopefulness and defiant confidence that spur on the unusual pair of friends as they journey into the unknown: we’ll make it!
