An accessible picture book that oh-so-simply and graphically introduces the term "refugee" to curious young children to help them better understand the world in which they live. Who are refugees? Why are they called that word? Why do they need to leave their country? Why are they sometimes not welcome in their new country? In this relevant picture book for the youngest children, author-illustrator Elise Gravel explores what it means to be a refugee in bold, graphic illustrations and spare text. This is the perfect tool to introduce an important and timely topic to children.Author: Elise GravelPublisher: Schwartz & Wade BooksPublished: 09/24/2019Pages: 32Binding Type: HardcoverWeight: 0.70lbsSize: 9.40h x 7.60w x 0.50dISBN: 9780593120057Age Range: 3-7Review Citation(s): Publishers Weekly 06/10/2019Kirkus Reviews 07/01/2019Booklist 08/01/2019 pg. 54School Library Journal 09/01/2019 pg. 136Bulletin of Ctr for Child Bks 10/01/2019About the AuthorElise Gravel is an award-winning author-illustrator from Quebec.
