Every so often, national or world events prompt us to deviate from our typical pattern here on The Classroom Bookshelf. Last September, we began our year with an entry that focused on racial inequity in the United States and the events that unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri in August of 2014. This week, we are moved by the plight of refugees from Syria, and the need for the world to take action.

Thanks for this timely post and booklist. I've read Home of the Brave and Inside Out and Back Again. Both are excellent books.
I have read many of these books, and appreciate that you have shared them as a list.
I hope teachers will make time to include them in classroom discussions, especially
now that refugees (not migrants, not immigrants) are desperate for safety.
