How do we talk to children about war and flight?
The images of the war in Ukraine are currently everywhere, and children are asking questions, wanting to know more and trying to understand what is happening. But how do we talk to younger children about the war without overwhelming them? The Association of Binational Families and Partnerships has put together a selection of 12 international picture books that can help children and adults.
Download the book list as a PDF file (unfortunately only available in German).
