This is the second in a two-part series of recommended books for youth\u00a0about the refugee experience. For a list of picture books, click here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Canada, with her groovin’ President<\/a>, functional\u00a0healthcare system<\/a>, and more welcoming<\/a> borders<\/a>, is currently in the throes of “Month 13<\/a>,”\u00a0the first month following the year-long commitment Canadian families made to adopt Syrian refugee families. Letting go and encouraging independence are understandably challenging tasks for\u00a0both groups.<\/p>\n

Even as headlines about refugee<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0immigration bans<\/a>\u00a0proliferate, refugees have been a part of the American story for centuries, whether escaping religious persecution from Britain, starvation in Ireland, genocide in Europe, war in Southeast Asia, mass destruction and murder in the Congo, Eritrea, Sudan, and beyond \u2013 and, alas, the list goes on.<\/p>\n

With all the fear, uncertainty, and difficulties that adults face as refugees, a child’s experience is likely to be exponentially more challenging. In encouraging understanding and empathy, books serve as validation for the refugee child as well as provide portals to learn more about the refugee experience. These\u00a0middle grade and YA novels accomplish just that.<\/p>\n

\"\"It Ain\u2019t So Awful, Falafel<\/a><\/strong> by Firoozeh Dumas<\/p>\n

Zomorod Yousefzadeh\u2019s peripatetic upbringing has already spanned great\u00a0distances \u2013 not just in miles, but across cultural, social, and political divides as well. Originally from Iran, her family is finally settling in California\u00a0in the summer of 1978 when Zomorod renames herself Cindy, after the youngest child in The\u00a0Brady Bunch<\/em>. Her American metamorphosis is threatened by the hostage\u00a0crisis in Iran, which makes being Iranian in the U.S. a matter of survival.

\"\"A Long Walk to Water <\/a><\/strong>by Linda Sue Park<\/p>\n

Since Newbery Medalist\u00a0Park published Water<\/em>\u00a0on November 2010, borders shifted (again) and the world recognized the birth of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, 2011, making the book\u00a0almost an anachronism \u2013 its map is no longer accurate, and country names will need updating.\u00a0Park’s dual narrative intertwines 11-year-old Nya’s titular “long walk to water” on which her family relies for survival, and 11-year-old Salva Dut’s decade-long odyssey as one of the Lost Boys of Sudan. The two children are enemies merely by chance of being born into warring tribes, yet despite their violent inheritance, Nya and Salva’s lives will intersect in a life-saving effort of cooperation and peace.<\/p>\n

\"\"Lost Girl Found<\/a><\/strong> by Leah Bassoff and Laura DeLuca<\/p>\n

Poni’s fiercely supportive mother is determined that her daughter will have a different future than her 12-year-old best friend, who endured child marriage only to die in childbirth.

In 1999, when the U.S. State Department allowed the resettlement of young Sudanese refugees, nearly 4,000 Lost Boys arrived in America, but only 89 girls. Co-authors Bassoff and DeLuca give voice to the overlooked Lost Girls. Their hope: “that more girls will get to tell their stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

He’s forced to commit indescribable acts as a child soldier, numbing his heart and mind in order to live to the next day. Miraculously, he reclaims his humanity to become an outspoken champion of the world.<\/p>\n

\"\"Stormy Seas: Stories of Young Boat Refugees<\/a><\/strong> by Mary Beth Leatherdale, illustrated by Eleanor Shakespeare<\/p>\n

The first line speaks volumes: “If you’re reading this, you \u2013 like me \u2013 have probably won the lottery. Not the giant-check, instant-millionaire kind of lottery. The other lottery win. . . [t]hat random, lucky break that means you were born in or immigrated to a relatively peaceful and prosperous place in the world.” Sixty-five million are less lucky: they’re today’s refugees fleeing their homes, most recently Syrian refugees crossing the Mediterranean. But boat refugees are not new news; that history covers a half-millenia, from French Huguenots who fled to England in 1630, to Irish Catholics who sailed to North America in 1770, to Mormon Danes U.S.-bound in 1850, to Sri Lankans and Indians arriving in Canada in 1987, and so many more. Through interviews, and enhanced with additional contextual research, Leatherdale gives voice to five children\u2014Ruth from Germany, Phu from Vietnam, Jos\u00e9 from Cuba, Najeeba from Afghanistan, Mohamed from the Ivory Coast\u2014who further illuminate their experiences with\u00a0current updates.<\/p>\n

\"\"Baddawi<\/a><\/strong> by Leila Abdelrazaq<\/p>\n

Palestinian American activist Abdelrazaq\u00a0prefaces her\u00a0webcomic-turned-printed book: \u201cI don\u2019t draw Baddawi because this story is unique. I draw it because it is a common story that is not frequently told.\u201d\u00a0Palestinians, she explains, “make up the largest refugee population in the world, numbering more than five million.\u201d Her father was one of those displaced, born in a Lebanese refugee camp called Baddawi after his family’s Palestinian village was destroyed in 1948. Through her own extended history, Abdelrazaq draws poignant attention to refugees worldwide:\u00a0“I see Palestinian refugees (and for that matter, refugees in general) portrayed as objects of suffering to be pitied, defined by circumstance, rather than subjects of their own individual narratives to be empathized with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Bamboo People<\/a><\/strong> by Mitali Perkins<\/p>\n

Inspired by three years of living in Thailand and visiting refugee camps along the Thai-Burmese border, Perkins follows the lives of two boys on opposite sides of the\u00a0war they inherited.\u00a0City-educated Chiko is abducted to be trained as a soldier.\u00a0Tu Reh finds Chiko when he becomes the sole survivor of a mine blast.

\"\"Children of War: Voices of Iraqi Refugees<\/a><\/strong> by Deborah Ellis<\/p>\n

Canadian anti-war activist and bestselling author Deborah Ellis gives voice to children whose families fled war to often unwelcoming new countries.\u00a0Despite a civilization that is\u00a0one of the world\u2019s oldest, its ancient glory buried in the hanging gardens of Babylon, Iraq\u2019s recent history is defined by violence, from the eight-year Iran-Iraq War that began in 1980, to Iraq\u2019s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 which sparked the First Gulf War, to the post-9\/11 U.S. invasion in 2003. Sara, 15, speaks for many: \u201cWe all miss our homeland. We had friends there, and lives that could have been wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Cry of the Giraffe<\/a><\/strong> by Judie Oron<\/p>\n

The centuries-long history of Jews in Ethiopia does not protect them from derision and abuse from their countrymen. With growing violence compounded by unrelenting religious persecution, Wuditu and her family begin an arduous trek to a refugee camp in the Sudan, following promises that they will be rescued and evacuated to Jerusalem. For Canadian journalist Oron, this little-known history of Ethiopian Jewish refugees is also part of her own personal journey: two of her characters became her daughters.<\/p>\n

\"\"In the Sea There Are Crocodiles<\/a><\/strong> by Fabio Geda, translated by Howard Curtis<\/p>\n

This novel’s protagonist, Afghan-born Enaiatollah Akbariis, is a real person, just\u00a0ten years old \u2013 \u201cI say ten, although I\u2019m not entirely sure when I was born\u201d \u2013 when his harrowing odyssey crosses five countries. Italy is where Enaiatollah meets author Geda, \u201can Italian novelist who works with children under duress,\u201d whom Enaiatollah entrusts to\u00a0\u201cwrite his story down, so that people who had suffered similar things could know they were not alone, and so that others might understand them better.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"Kids of Kabul: Living Bravely through a Never-Ending War<\/a><\/strong> by Deborah Ellis<\/p>\n

Ellis\u2019s active interest in Afghanistan began in 1996; by giving voice to the Afghan community over the last two decades in numerous books \u2013 Women of the Afghan War<\/em> for adults, and the ever-popular middle grade\/young adult Breadwinner<\/em> quartet\u00a0(The Breadwinner, Parvana\u2019s Journey, Mud City, My Name is Parvana<\/em>) \u2013 Ellis has raised over a million dollars in book royalties for Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan and Street Kid International. In Kids of\u00a0Kabul<\/em>, Ellis introduces\u00a027 girls and boys, ages 11 to 17. All have survived horrors, yet their resilience is remarkable:\u00a0\u201cAt school I have learned that there are better ways to do things than all this war, war, war all the time. It\u2019s the younger generation that will change that. My generation. Me,\u201d says Mustala, 13. Testimony from Sigrullah, 14, attests to\u00a0the saving power of books: \u201cI am happiest when I am in this library. All of our problems can be solved with these books.”<\/p>\n
