BOOKS FOR YOUNGER READERS

Its double format would serve as a lovely model for students to replicate with their own stories and illustrations about family and school experiences, including immigration.

Passages could be turned into wonderful role plays in the classroom, especially since the dialogue between the children rings so true.

 

Pilkey, Dav. ‘Twas the Night Before Thanksgiving.  2004.  Orchard Books, New York, N.Y.

This is a delightful read-aloud story about a creative and determined boy who wants to make a special and quite complicated toy from wires he finds. The setting is a small village in West Africa, and the people and daily activity there are wonderfully portrayed in gentle watercolors. Elementary students may be surprised to know that several children's rights relate to play and movement, and Kondi's travels through a day collecting scrap materials to construct his galimoto (toy truck), introduce readers to an imaginative and resourceful young boy, as well as the sights and sounds of his village on the sea.

Shea, Pegi. The Whispering Cloth: A Refugee's Story. 1996.  Highlights Press, Pennsylvania, PA.

Many human rights can be fruitfully discussed in light of this refugee story: the right to religious and cultural expression, the right of children not to be exploited as laborers.
