The Best Of Our Knowledge #1432 "The Newcomers"

For quite some time, the word ‘refugees’ has been met with suspicion and more than a little fear. The 2016 election season and result didn’t help that at all. But there are refugee families trying to assimilate and become more American. Now, a new book details a year in the life of some refugee children as they adjust to their new home.

Today on the Best of Our Knowledge, we’ll hear about that book called “The Newcomers”.

We’ll also spend an Academic Minute with children learning English at home…with an accent.
