The Journey: 0

Product Information

This teaching sequence spans approximately 26 sessions, providing ample opportunities for educators to teach advanced reading and writing skills through an evocative and challenging text. The vivid illustrations encourage reader response and reflection on complex themes, allowing for in-depth exploration of sensitive content and inspiring creative, authentic responses. Our approach identifies the unique reasons & triggers behind your unwanted sexual behavior. Other approaches to sexual integrity only teach accountability and lust management. Those alone will not help you overcome your unwanted sexual behavior. The illustrations within this picture book are wonderful, and quite fairy-tale like, which contributes the the story as for the central character I would imagine that this journey feels unreal.

Introducing a comprehensive teaching unit centered around the captivating text, “The Journey” by Francesca Sanna. This 5-week writing unit is thoughtfully designed to engage students and broaden their understanding of the refugee experience.

From the author: The Journey is actually a story about many journeys, and it began with the story of two girls I met in a refugee center in Italy. After meeting them I realized that behind their journey lay something very powerful. So I began collecting more stories of migration and interviewing many people from many different countries. A few months later, in September 2014, when I started studying a Master of Arts in Illustration at the Academy of Lucerne, I knew I wanted to create a book about these true stories. Almost every day on the news we hear the terms "migrants" and "refugees" but we rarely ever speak to or hear the personal journeys that they have had to take. This book is a collage of all those personal stories and the incredible strength of the people within them. Many feel ashamed and unwanted after years of struggling with sexual brokenness. Unwanted invites you to see that in this brokenness, God can work powerfully in your life. This rhyming story takes you on a magical journey with the little red boat that the boy once lost. As the boat slipped from his grasp, the boy watched sadly as it disappeared from view. Follow the boat on its exciting voyage into the unknown and marvel at what lies at its journey's end. Thank you. I've adapted this to the first person to use early in a unit of work about the voyage of the Mayflower. This powerful tool will highlight where in your life you still have unrealised potential. Seeing the results will give your clarity and focus.

Kevin’s main focus is bringing the power of this paradigm shifting and transformative work to individuals who recognise that they are not living to their highest and deepest potential. He is continually developing new work and is currently writing a book on freedom from depression. Leading consciousness-based workshops and retreats, Kevin points us to the unconscious patterns that have kept us small, and offers specific process work to strip away life’s limiting and painful conditioning – the ingrained fears, beliefs, vows and rules – and allow us to uncover the authentic greatness and genius potential that has always been inside us all. This beautifully illustrated picture book introduces a powerful and moving perspective on migration for readers of all ages. Told through the eyes of a young girl, the story explores the unimaginable decisions faced by a mother and her two children as they are forced to flee their home and everyone they know to escape the turmoil of war. The resulting work is stunning and with a simplistic storyline, it is a perfect aid to explain the current refugee crisis to younger children or even adults. An essential book that not only introduces children to the importance of human rights, freedom, and the history of these concepts, but also to a wonderful variety of illustrations.

I found this title listed on the longlist for the Kate Greenaway Medal for illustrated children's books. I enjoy finding new illustrators even when the books are aimed for children. The visual style of Francesca Sanna is so appealing, you can find some of her work here- Since asylum can be a confusing issue for children (and even adults), here are some books that explore what it really means to flee your home and have to start your life over.
