Refugee

In the 1930s, Josef and his Jewish family board a boat bound for Cuba in order to flee the German Nazis, who are wanting to send them all to a concentration camp.  In 1994, Cuban Isabel and her family, as well as a neighboring family, utilize a makeshift raft in their efforts to reach the freedoms found in the United States.  In 2015, Mahmoud and his family flee his war-torn homeland of Syria for peace in Europe.  Told in alternating chapters, these three child refugees face their fears head-on as they persevere to survive.
