How Many Days to America?

Reach for this book when your child starts asking questions about global news regarding refugees or when you want to instill a deep sense of gratitude and empathy for the journeys others take to find safety. This story follows a family forced to flee their home under the cover of night, trading everything they own for a dangerous boat ride to a new land. It is a poignant look at the courage it takes to leave behind everything familiar in search of freedom. While the family faces soldiers, thieves, and hunger, the narrative remains grounded in the warmth of the family unit and the unwavering hope of the parents. Ideal for children ages 5 to 10, it serves as a gentle bridge to discuss complex topics like immigration and human rights. It is particularly powerful as a Thanksgiving read, as it reframes the holiday through the lens of modern day pilgrims seeking a better life.
