Foreign Literature YA Story About the Interaction between Refugee Children and Facility Staff A gray building in a small Swedish town. "I", a young high school student, works in a detention facility for unaccompanied refugee children. Staff members are required to follow rules and instructions, and are told not to think about work when they return home, but it is very difficult to do so when they are in daily contact with the children who have fled from Afghanistan. "I" connects with three boys who have fled alone, 14-year-old Zahel, 17-year-old Ahmed and Hamid, who have been separated from their families, and try to stay close to them who suffer from the fear and trauma of the Taliban and fear of having to leave the facility when they turn 18. "I" depicts the reality of refugee children and the conflict of staff in a quiet brush and won the Nordic Council's Children and Youth Literature Award in 2021.
