Description

 

When Saoussan immigrated with her family from war-torn Lebanon, she was only seven years old. This picture book tells the story of how she had to adjust to her new home in Canada. She describes the frustration of not understanding the teacher when she started school, not knowing how to ask to go to the bathroom, and being terrified of a Hallowe鈥檈n skeleton. This is the perfect book to help kids empathize with immigrant children whose experiences are very similar to Saoussan鈥檚.

鈥淔ROM FAR AWAY talks beautifully about experiences of immigration from a child鈥檚 perspective. This would be a great book to add to a language arts program or simply use to educate students about immigration and life in a new language. FROM FAR AWAY can be embedded throughout the curriculum, specifically focusing on equity, citizenship and social justice.鈥�
