The universe wanted to remind me of this children's book.

And I guess there's also a film I've never seen.

It has a positive account of a refugee experience.

"'Am I ten yet?' asked Anna. Papa looked at his watch. 

'Ten years old exactly.' He hugged her. 'Happy, happy birthday, and very many happy returns!'

And just as he said it the boat's lights came on. There was only a sprinkling of white bulbs round the rails which left the deck almost as dark as before, but the cabin suddenly glowed yellow and at the back of the boat the ship's lantern shone a brilliant purply-blue.

'Isn't it lovely!' cried Anna, and somehow, suddenly, she no longer minded about her birthday and her presents. It seemed rather fine and adventurous to be a refugee, to have no home and not to know where one was going to live. Perhaps at a pinch it might even count as a difficult childhood like the ones in Gunther's book and she would end up by being famous. 

As the boat streamed back to Zurich, she snuggled up to Papa and they watched the blue light from the ship's lantern trailing through the dark water behind them.

"' I think I might quite like being a refugee,' said Anna."
