A child-friendly introduction to the word “refugee”

Elise Gravel’s picture book introduces the meaning of “refugee” through spare text and bold, graphic illustrations. It addresses questions about why people leave their countries and why they may not be welcomed in a new one, giving the subject a clear place in conversations with young children. The concise format keeps the focus on explaining the term and the circumstances behind it, rather than offering a broad survey of migration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children beginning to learn about refugees and migration
  • Adults seeking a picture book to support conversations about displacement
  • Readers who prefer concise text paired with graphic illustrations

This is the perfect tool to introduce an important and timely topic to children.
