«Los colores de casa» is the children's picture book by Mary Hoffman and Karin Littlewood, published by Intermón Oxfam in hardcover (25 pages, in Spanish).
Hassan is a young Somali refugee who has just arrived in a new country, where he doesn't understand the language and everything looks gray and cold. At school, painting becomes his way of communicating: with colors he evokes his life in Somalia, the war that forced his family to flee, and the hope of finally feeling at home in the land that welcomes him.
Spanish translation of the English original, published in 2003; recommended reading age is 5 to 6 years.
For early readers, and also for working in the classroom on immigration, refuge and cultural diversity.
