Refugee Stories for Older Readers

< Other Lists

Refugees are often the forgotten casualties of conflict.  Family separation, food and shelter shortages, dangerous escapes and other trauma often fill the lives of these people who no longer have a country to call home.  We've collected stories for our older readers that provide snapshots spanning the past two centuries and transporting us around the world.  While many of these stories can be difficult to read, books like this help us remember...and bring understanding to our hearts.
