by ParentCo. November 29, 2023 Unless you are an immigrant or the child of immigrants, the move from one country to another can be a hard thing for kids to understand. The transplanting of a life is about more than just a physical shift. It's about holding onto one's culture, ideals, and heritage during a shift onto new soil, and it's no small thing. In honor of such a move, here are 15 books to help your child grasp what it means to arrive in a new land.

Would you recommend some of your favorite books that speak to the Arab American experience? A fantastic, just-published picture book by I love is Homeland: My Father Dreams of Palestine by Hannah Moushabeck. I also like the book Lost and Found Cat by Doug Kuntz, about a Syrian immigrant family's search for their lost cat, and Salma the Syrian Chef by Danny Ramadan.
