How I Learned Geography
ISBN 0374334994  EAN: 9780374334994 Farrar Hardcover (4 to 8) WB Price: $28.95
Having fled from war in their troubled homeland, a boy and his family are living in poverty in a strange country. Food is scarce, so when the boy's father brings home a map instead of bread for supper, at first the boy is furious. But when the map is hung on the wall, it floods their cheerless room with color. As the boy studies its every detail, he is transported to exotic places without ever leaving the room, and he eventually comes to realize that the map feeds him in a way that bread never could.The award-winning artist's most personal work to date is based on his childhood memories of World War II and features stunning illustrations that celebrate the power of imagination. An author's note includes a brief description of his family's experience, two of his early drawings, and the only surviving photograph of himself from that time.26.49 cms L x 25.53 cms W (0.37 kgs) 28 pages Awards : Caldecott Medal | Honor Book | Picture Book | 2009 - 2009 ; Parents Choice Awards (Spring) (2008) | Silver Medal Winner | Nonfiction | 2008 - 2008

A wonderful readaloud."; "The saturated colors of their blue dresses, green trees, and the red scooter and dragon create sufficient tension for the story and keep pace with the liveliness of the action.

An entertaing feminist twist not be confused with the original."21.44 cms L x 26.92 cms W (0.14 kgs) 32 pages
