Eimear,
Thanks for sharing the idea about ‘The Day War Came’. She is an excellent kids author. She explains everything in a very simple way.
She also wrote ‘The Big Blue Whale’ which is an fantastic book about facts about the amazing blue whale.
Thanks Eoghan for the link to Nicola Davies. It is an excellent way to introduce the concept of children arriving on boats to the shores of Europe. A wonderful way of introducing the concept of refugees and coming to a new school.
