Moving to another country takes a toll, and it does so exceptionally for many young minds like my nearly four-year-old son. When Gosa moves from all he has ever known in Nigeria to Scotland, he encounters an unreceptive environment that confuses and wounds him. He had made friends back home and now, he struggles with the fact that he has been pulled away from his way of life and must adapt to a new town where the way he speaks, the colour of his skin, are questioned. Many children leaving Africa for the first time are not even aware that their skin has a colour, yet could be mistreated by those who fail to see their humanity. Based on a true story, The Boy Who Wanted to Be a Mouse explores the emotional pain many immigrant children endure when faced with discrimination, and how Gosa ultimately learns to overcome those battles and embrace who he truly is.
If you want to teach your child to accept and love him/herself, or are planning on relocating; then this is the best book for you and your child. This beautifully illustrated picture book comes handy to help you prepare the mind of your young once should they find themselves in an unreceptive environment. This is a book that teaches and educate kids on values, self -worth, self-love and the impact of relocation on immigrant kids and survival.
It is a must have for all homes as it teaches kids values and help them understand how certain behaviour affects others. You can read this for your 4 &5 years old and your 6-8 can help themselves. This picture book will do well for children of parents looking to relocate with their young once, on how to prepare their minds on different cultures and differences.
