The authors did a glorious job of capturing the stories of school leaders who have committed themselves to making schools a more welcoming place for refugees and asylum-seekers. Grounded in reflective stories, the authors expertly weave in their research findings with existing literature to create a rich blend of the personal narrative that details a variety of global contexts and its impact on the field of educational leadership. Jayson W. Richardson, Ph.D., Professor and Department Chair, Morgridge College of Education, Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, USA This is a timely and important book which draws on evidence from a range of international settings and diverse contexts. It will be invaluable in supporting education leaders to understand and address the needs of children and families moving into new and potentially daunting environments. It covers issues relating to leadership, racism and cultural diversity in an intellectually robust, empathetic and accessible way. James Noble-Rogers, Executive Director, Universities Council for the Education of Teachers (UCET), UK This is an essential read for all educational leaders. In such a changing landscape of society and education, it is refreshing and inspiring, to have such a direct, engaging and measured reading. Mark Snedden, High School Principal, Australia
