This book does a wonderful job of showing how hard is actually is to move to America from a poverty, war stricken country. Students have no idea what it is like and this book is very accurate in portraying it. I hope students can see how lucky we are to have food, shelter, and family.

Applegate, Katherine. (2008). Home of the brave. 2008-12-23.
This is a remarkable story of a boy who migrates to America after leaving his African war zone country. He comes over to live with his aunt and cousins, as his mom is in a refugee camp. He is in a hard place in his life as he doesn’t know the language, the food is “weird” and there is this stuff on the ground call snow. This boy is very brave and courageous to face all these challenges that are ongoing throughout the book.
