Imagine growing up in a world where you do not know where or when you will have your next meal. Worrying that your older brother might be taken by rebel soldiers. Or that a dictator can systematically strip away your freedoms. This is the world my students have crossed the globe to escape from. Burma. Eritrea. Somalia. Sudan. Chechnya. Countries where educational rights are limited at best. Where books in the hands of my students may not have ever existed. My inner-city students need books. They come from languages that have non-Roman alphabets such as Myanmar, Russian, Tigrigna, and Arabic. Their familiarity with English is conversational, as they read at the second grade level while in high school. My students need books so that they can fully escape from the memories of war and so that they can connect with nonfictional accounts of other war-torn victims and with characters who have found a way to freedom.
