What Is a Refugee? by Elise Gravel

Simple and child-friendly, this picture book perfectly explains that refugees are the same as any child reading the book, and uses a perfect level of empathy and understanding to explain their situations.

The story uses real quotes from immigrant children at the end, as well as historical examples of famous refugees.

I enjoyed the range of detail in the illustrations of the characters, and the books availing to speak the heavy truth of these experiences and lives without being too much for children to fully process.
