When the violence by militant terrorist group Boko Haram increases in
her village in Nigeria, Baseema and her family make the difficult
decision to seek refuge in another country. With limited places to go
and few people who are able to help, Baseema is unsure of her future.
She hopes to find safety in a country where she will be allowed to go to
school, and live without constant fear. Interspersed with facts about
Nigeria and its people, this narrative tells a story common to many
refugees fleeing the country. Readers will learn about the conflict
there and how they can help refugees in their communities and around the
world who are struggling to find permanent homes. Teacher's guide
available.
