The Adventure Begins: First Day at Detinu International School. Jen Munnerlyn
In my opinion, this is a perfect international student book! Any student new to the international scene, or moving to a new international school, can relate to the character's feelings of eating different foods, speaking different languages, and the myriad of differences in general when arriving in a new country. It's a great book to use in the first few days of school or as a springboard for discussion about what it means to be a TCK, or Third Culture Kid. A friend and fellow teacher wrote this book (one in a series of more to come) because she herself grew up a TCK and found that there are few resources out there that address this group of children.

I enjoy reading your blog! As a former teacher abroad, it really brings back memories!
I have a friend who embarked this month on a career teaching in the international schools (Lugano, Switzerland), and I've recommended your blog to her as well. Have a wonderful year! Thanks!
