Review

"Joanne MacNevin's contribution to refugee education is commendable. Her insight into how best to engage children with such varied and diverse experience is meritorious as she offers sound advice and practical solutions to the issues." (Prof. Jan Stewart University of Winnipeg) This book explores some of the core questions: "Who are our refugee learners? What are their challenges? How do we support their learning journeys in a new country and a new language? I applaud the author for her contribution in this field." (Prof.Sylvia Helmer, University of British Columbia)"
