I have been inspired by The Read-Aloud Handbook by Tim Trelease and have started reading a chapter from The Clay Marble to my 10 year-old, 12 year-old and 14 year-old each night. In this story it discusses the journey of Cambodian refugees (among other relevant topics of discussion). I asked the kids to do some 'research' when they got home from school. My son came home and shared the Two Billion Miles website with me. This website provided our family a great opportunity to discuss the heart-wrenching journeys many refugees take. Let me know your thoughts on the website in the comments section below.
