![]() ![]() When they get here a lot of things become new and they have to figure out on their own how to do them. I chose this book because like Hassan, asylum seekers come from everywhere where norms, cultures and traditions are very different. Instead, the next day he drew a happier picture where everything was nice and ‘ok’ and showed that to his mother. His mother asked him at the end of the school day to show her his picture, but he did not. He painted a picture of what happened to him in Somalia his real reality. He understood he was to paint because the teacher gave him a paper, a brush and showed him the colours. Hassan understands very little English and so in his class, the teacher gave him a task to paint. In this book, Hassan is a child from Somalia and attending a new school in a new country.
