Blogging From A to Z Challenge – Refugee Experience
Refugees coming to America has been a hotly debated topic for decades. An experience that some people can barely fathom as families flee violence, hardship, gangs, war, famine, and persecution searching for a better life. These are just a few titles that speak to that experience whether through historical fiction, graphic novel, or realistic fiction. I specifically chose to look at the refugee experience, but you’ll also find many titles about immigration for middle grade readers as well on other blogs and book lists.
