Picture Books Tell Children the Harsh Stories of Migrants and Refugees

Monica Edinger for the New York Times reports on the increase in picture books on the migration and refugee experience.  “Whether they are nostalgic reveries of those who came long ago to this nation of immigrants, or the brutal nightmares of worldwide millions fleeing war, violence and persecution today, memories of migration matter. Telling these stories seems more important than ever — even, and some might say especially, to children. A wave of picture books has arrived to help with this difficult task.”
