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.

THANK YOU, Monica! I have only one of these books and have now ordered the rest. They’ll find their way into my fall term freshmen lit. class (Seeking Refuge: Literature of Hope and Heartache).
