When Abroad – Do as the Local Children Do:
Ori’s Guide for Young Expats
Children who have moved to a new country come to understand their new environment through the travels of an adventurous migrating bird in this children’s guide to thriving as a newcomer to a foreign nation. Focusing on overcoming the strains of living in a foreign country, this story encourages children to explore and actively participate in their new world. Children follow Ori as he leads them through an international move, from packing and saying good-bye to discovering a country’s quirks and overcoming homesickness. Supported by a website designed for children, this inspirational tale includes a special section for parents and teachers with a 10-point action plan and lists of resources. Also available on www.amazon.de.

One of the few books for children aged 8 – 12. I worked through a few pages with my 7 year old daughter when moving to the U.S. Seeing her drawings helped me understand what she was actually going through. And it helped her to release her emotions and show me her sadness. Great resource for parents and teachers.
