Expat Kids' Resources

 

 

Our kids need resources, too, when moving overseas.  Below are a list of many books FOR kids. 

While some of the resources cover coping with a move, others provide general kid-friendly info about Myanmar. 

Because you don't already have enough on your plate (ha!), there's a section for teaching kids about diversity, too. 

 Planning to move to Yangon? Check-out this page over here to learn about the eBook, "Moving to Myanmar."
