Booklists for Schools: Refugee Awareness Week
Refugee Awareness Week runs between June 15th and 21st and theme is Courage. This year, with the help of artist and illustrator Quentin Blake, the campaign encourages Simple Acts.
One of those acts is Read a Book and below you will find a selection of books for young readers that are written by and/or feature refugees. We have split them by age range so you can easily find books to suit primary or secondary classrooms and libraries.
