16 kids' books about refugees

Written by Doug Kuntz & Amy Shrodes, Illustrated by Sue Cornelison (AGES 4-8) When a family is forced to leave their home in Iraq, they refuse to leave without their cat, Kunkush. They hide him away on their journey from Iraq to Greece, but once on the crowded boat, his carrier breaks and the terrifed cat runs away. The family searches for their beloved cat unsuccessfully, and choose to keep moving, saddened by the disappearance of their pet. In a time of sacrifice, this true story (told by the people involved) demonstrates how a community of people came together to reunite Kunkush with his family when they needed him most. $24, indigo.ca
