Children's Refugee Literature

I came across a nice resource called Paper Tigers, which is a web site about books for young readers. This month on their home page, they have a feature on "refugee children" with several articles discussing picture and chapter books that try to convey the refugee experience.

Particularly useful are the many reviews of books that focus on child refugees or children in conflict.

The feature will eventually be archived, so it won't disappear even if you don't find it on the home page.

Browsing these articles and reviews inspired me to update the links in my own bibliography on Collecting Children's Refugee Literature. Please check it out!
