El Niño's Journey

About the book

El Niño's Journey, by Mark Ranney, follows Diego and his family as they leave Honduras for a new life in New York. At his new school, Diego faces a bully and learns to stand up with courage instead of his fists. It's a warm, full-color picture book for ages 3 to 7.

Why parents and teachers choose it:

• A gentle way to talk about moving, starting a new school and being the "new kid"
• Helps children understand immigrant classmates and neighbors
• Shows handling a bully with courage and wisdom, not violence
• A good fit for Hispanic Heritage Month, character education and bedtime

The paperback is sold and shipped by Amazon. A free lesson guide is available in our shop for classrooms and Sunday school. The story continues at Christmas in Diego & Goliath. Bring the story to life with the El Niño's Journey Coloring and Activity Book and the El Niño's Journey art prints. For teachers, see the Teacher & Sunday School Guide.
