A beautifully illustrated picture book that sensitively explains larger issues and crises that dominate the news in an appropriate manner for children

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The Children in Our World picture book series helps children make sense of the larger issues and crises that dominate the news in a sensitive and appropriate manner. With relatable comparisons, carefully researched text, and striking illustrations, children can begin to understand who refugees and migrants are, why they've left their homes, where they live, and what readers can do to help those in need.

Where issues aren't appropriate to describe in words, Hanane Kai's striking and sensitive illustrations help children visualise who refugees and migrants are, in images that are suited to their age and disposition.

The series forms an excellent cross-curricular resource that looks at refugees, war, poverty, and racism, making them ideal for tying into Refugee Week and discussions on current affairs.
