When Abroad -- Do as the Local Children Do - Hilly van Swol-Ulbrich

The experience of moving abroad differs between adults and children. For the first time, here is a book that is aimed at children (especially those between the ages of 8 and 12) of expatriate families, to help them to overcome the difficulties and strains of living in a foreign country. The book contains activities and assignments to build the confidence of expatriate children and encourage them to take initiatives in exploring their new environment. Through the character of Ori, the migrating bird, this book empathises with children during the different phases of the transition. Parents can read and participate in the activities along with their children, in order to help their children master and enjoy life abroad.
