    Picture Books About Immigration & Refugees

    Picture Books About Immigration & Refugees

    Every month, Montessori For All selects an anti-bias, anti-racist book for our teachers to read to their communities. First we select one for 3-6 year-olds, then one for 1st-3rd graders, and finally one for 4th-6th graders. If you would like to subscribe to our monthly newsletter to receive links to book guides with discussion questions, vocabulary words, and extension activities to be used in the classroom or at home, you can sign up here. This month we are focusing on picture books about immigration & refugees. Further, you can find books about peace/justice/empathy here or diverse cultures here.
