Neary plunged her hand into the bag and pulled
out two long elastic chains. Its a Cambodian game,
she said. Its called Jumping to the Heavens. You must
jump very high. But dont worry. If you have trouble, I'll
jump and save you.
The stories in Jumping to Heaven are
based on the true experiences of refugee children who have migrated
to Australia. Their stories are sad, scary, thought-provoking
and sometimes funny. Above all they are stories of courage and
hope, sometimes against overwhelming odds.
