Children During Conflicts (Crabtree Forest)

Children in conflict zones experience life-threatening situations and witness violence. They are killed or injured; some are forced to fight; many are orphaned. This important series helps show the significant ways in which conflicts shape and change children's lives, impacting their families, their physical and mental health, and their futures. Extension questions encourage readers to think critically, make connections, and reflect. Perspectives boxes feature people affected by conflict. Each book highlights efforts by organizations to protect and aid children trapped in conflicts, along with suggestions on ways to support their work. Free downloadable Teacher's Notes.
