BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Though Kalia was living with her family in a Hmong refugee camp inside Thailand, her father wants her to know that the world is much bigger than the little bit they could see behind the fences keeping them in. Putting on their best clothes, he takes her to the top of the tallest tree.
If you are reading Refugee by Alan Gratz, you should add this to your collection of supporting picture books. Yang shows us through her own story, the love and yearnings for home that exist even under such awful circumstances.
