«Akim court» is the picture book by Claude K. Dubois, published by L'école des loisirs in hardback (100 pages, in French).
Akim is a child whose life changes completely when war reaches his village and he has to flee. With delicate and expressive illustrations, the work shows loss, fear and resilience on the journey, and makes visible the reality of thousands of refugee children forced from their homes by armed conflict.
Published in 2012 in the Pastel collection, it won the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis and the Katholischer Kinder- und Jugendbuchpreis in 2014, and the Madrid Booksellers' Prize in 2016.
For children and families, a sensitive picture book about refuge and war; also useful in the classroom for working on empathy and welcome.
