The 'Why in the World' series introduces citizenship topics in a sensitive way with heartfelt illustrations, helping to connect children's own experiences to larger issues in the world

Everyone has a home. Other people's homes might look different to our own. Sometimes we need to move to a new home. This book looks at why people move home, whether it's by choice, or because other factors have forced them to leave their home. It looks at ways we can help people to feel welcome in new places.

Full of empathy and emotion, the books in this series are an excellent first look at local and global challenges. The notes included for parents and teachers offer a springboard for healthy discussion at home and in the classroom.
