New Kids' Books Put A Human Face On The Refugee Crisis

From children's picture books to complex novels for young audiences, more than 12 books will be published this fall. Child and youth editor of Kirks Reviews, Vicky Smith said new crops are increasingly adding headlines showing refugee's positive image, a conflict between humanity and personalization. "Writer, illustrator, and publisher really hope to respond positively and in a helpful manner to the crisis," she said.

The crisis of immigrants and refugees, and the pressure that it imposed on Italian society has been one of the most urgent issues in the country for more than a year. However, it is important to remember that this is not a crisis of refugees for newcomers. This is a painful crisis. It started not in the coast of Sicily but on other places, especially in Africa, and I felt that people had to flee only when their living at home became less acceptable. One of the fundamental causes of this crisis is famine. In fact, the number of hungry people in the world has increased from 777 million last year to 815 million. The response to the famine and hunger of the world depends greatly on Italy. Since becoming the headquarters of the UN Food Security Initiative in 1951, the country is the world leader in food security and agriculture. As president of the Seven Group, Italy has been supporting these priorities for the past year.

We are in the midst of a global refugee crisis. The number of displaced people worldwide has reached record high of 68.5 million people. Among them, more than 25 million people are refugees because of war, famine, persecution. As a global leader, the United States is responsible for dealing with these human rights violations. The proposed limit of 30,000 people ignores the world demand for strong refugee resettlement and US historical promises. As incomes and taxpayers, refugees make meaningful contributions to our economy. According to the document of the National Bureau of Economic Research, refugees contribute to the economy through taxation rather than public aid. According to the United States Refugee Third Country Settlement Bureau, 84% of refugees are self-sufficient within six months after arrival.
