Why children’s authors take on the refugee crisis
2017
Overview
More than a dozen new and forthcoming titles feature young Muslim refugees as protagonists, ranging from picture books aimed at readers as young as 4 to a cluster of novels for middle and high school students that delve into the murkier aspects of the refugee crisis. The wave of children’s books about Muslim asylum seekers is arriving amid the worst refugee crisis the world has seen since World War II, as millions of civilians - many of them children - flee the wars and insurgencies in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. The Canadian children’s book author Margriet Ruurs has spoken to thousands of students at schools around the world about her book Stepping Stones, which follows a family fleeing a war in an unnamed country and features images by the Syrian artist Nizar Ali Badr, who uses small stones to create human figures.
