One of the books that my academy teaches is about the Elián González affair, Elian Gonzalez: Caught Between Two Countries (it's out of print, so don't waste your time).
Not only is it difficult to explain such a complex, international relations issue to elementary students that are learning to comprehend English, but the book is just boring and a non-topic for the kids... Until now:
President Obama's improved ties for the U.S. and Cuba
Immigration: Teen vs. Japan
These current events don't make the book anymore fun or the topic more interesting to young Korean children. It is just nice to see that the world keeps spinning when you aren't thinking about it.
