Listening and Responding to Reading

Have you ever moved from one place to another? A new school, neighbourhood, town, region or country? How did you feel?

Mustafa is the story of a boy and his family coming to a new country.

Listen and watch Mustafa written and illustrated by Marie Louise-Gay with someone at your house. You might want to pause the video to have a better look at the illustrations. The illustrations and the words tell the story!

Maria finally figures out how to connect with Mustafa. Have you ever tried to connect with someone who is new to your neighbourhood or to your school? What did you do?

What are some other ways you can make someone feel welcome and included? Talk to someone at your house about your ideas, or you could also write about them!
