Our New Home: Immigrant Children Speak |
| What is it like to leave home and arrive in a place where everything is new: language, weather, customs, and people? Every year, families from around the world leave their homes to start a new life in Canada, and they each have a story. In Our New Home, children use their writing and artwork to share these stories with us. They have come from countries as diverse as China and India, Russia and Ghana, Malaysia and Argentina, Germany and Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, the Philippines and Somalia. The stories, poems, and pictures in Our New Home tell of the fear and sadness, the excitement and challenge of children and their families moving to another world and forging a new sense of self in a new land. | |
