We have been reading about the Little Refugee. The Little Refugee is written by Anh and Suzanne Do. The story is based on Anh Do’s journey to Australia. This story is about hungry, thirsty and poor people who have to leave Vietnam and travel to Australia. While they were on their journey the refugees' food and drink is ruined by a storm. Later on the refugees saw a boat. They were so happy until they saw a pirate came out of the boat. The pirates boarded the refugee's boat and stole all of their gold and jewellery. They even tried to throw a baby over the side of the boat. Luckily the pirate changed his mind. Before the pirates left the refugee's boat one of the pirates gave them a bottle of water that saved their lives. When they arrived in Sydney a nun gave them clothes but their was only one outfit for a boy and the other one was a girls outfit. Anh's mum had to dress Anh's little brother Koha as a girl.
