Book Discussion The Boy at the Back of the Class

NEA Big Read - Family Book Discussion

Collect your book a week before the event. One book per family. Hear the stories of immigrants as they try to adapt to their lives in a new country and draw comparisons with the characters in the book

In this book, the author offers a child's perspective on the refugee crisis, highlighting the importance of friendship and kindness in a world that doesn't always make sense.

Ahmet is a refugee who's run away from a War. A real one. With bombs and fires and bullies that hurt people. And he appears strange but he isn't really strange. He is trying to adjust and understand this new life. And friends make it easy for him.

Join us for a book discussion and hear the stories from some of the immigrants and their lives in a new country.
