Thousands of refugees have entered America in the wake of the Afghanistan takeover by Taliban forces, with 500 people likely to settle in Illinois. These big numbers and far-off places and situations are hard to understand (often, for adults as well as children!) without the empathy-building stories behind the statistics and news headlines. These books for children of all ages help bring refugee experiences - from all over the world - to light and life.
Lilah Tov, Good Night by Ben Gundersheimer, illustrated by Noar Lee Naggan. Recommended for ages 3-6
