A Refugee's Journey From South Sudan

by Ellen Rodger

Overview

Imagine having to leave your homeland because you are not safe. You must leave most of your friends, family, and belongings behind. Leaving My Homeland helps explain why some people must flee their country, and the challenges they face as refugees. Inspired by the accounts of many refugees, each book follows a story about a child and his or her family, explaining facts about their homeland and its people along the way. A Refugee's Journey from South Sudan Ataui lives in South Sudan. She has never known what safety feels like. When she and her siblings leave their home one day, they don't realize that they will never return. After walking for many days carrying the younger children, she and her family arrive at a refugee camp. With no place to go, the camp becomes their home.
