(3) PS Illustrated by Barroux. "When a place gets so scary that we have to leave home, every kindness counts." From "One boat / helping us on our way" to "Ten friends / making us happy," a simple text takes young children on a refugee's journey. Barroux's painterly watercolors are reassuring and upbeat; Kurman's text lightly touches on troubling issues with honesty and respect for her audience. The illustrations show a Black family--mother, baby, and two young siblings--as they travel toward safety, security, and a new beginning. Some age-appropriate context "about child refugees" and list of related websites are appended. Concurrently published in Spanish.
