The angel with the mouth organ  by Christobel Mattingley is a wonderful book about being a refugee in war-torn Europe - always makes me cry.

 Sami and the Time of the Troubles  Why= no  text, pic book in which two animals, I think a frog and a mouse, argue about possession of something and it escalates into a war and destroys the very thing they argued about. The message is very clear that war is not the way
to solve one's problems.
