The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q. Rauf, illustrated by Pippa Curnick
“This was a beautiful book, discussing a very emotive issue through the eyes of a child. The main character (who I will not name for fear of spoilers) struggles throughout the book to understand the situation of refugee boy, Ahmet, and why people have different reactions to him. A very uplifting read, which I am looking forward to sharing with my Year 4 and 5 class.”
