| Abstract: | Researchers used content analysis to analyze 40 award-winning and "best of" children's picture books that portray refugees to answer the questions: How are refugees depicted in picture books? What messages are embedded in those depictions? Results show patterns and themes regarding depictions of trauma and violence in conjunction with setting as well as the portrayal of the arts as a vehicle for refugees to ignite personal agency in coping with the trauma they experienced. Implications for practice are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
