My New Home After Iraq By Rodger, Ellen

Memories of fleeing war in Iraq, living in the refugee camp in Jordan, and the scary journey to the United States now seem far away to Zainab. But every day, as she attends school, plays sports, and participates in community groups in her new home in Dearborn, Michigan, she is aware that she will always be part of two cultures. Interwoven with facts about Iraq''s conflict and the experiences of Iraqi refugees around the world, Zainab''s story offers a thoughtful and unique look at the challenges - and triumphs - faced and experienced by refugees in their new homes. Teacher''s guide available.
