How I Learned Geography

(2) K-3 When Father brings home a map instead of bread, the famished narrator and his mother are angry. Still, once it's hung up, the boy is entranced. In Shulevitz's skillfully composed, emotionally charged art, evocative scenes of the refugee family leaving war-torn Europe and traversing Asia's "dusty steppes," with their dour, angular villages, give way to the dreamlike splendor of the boy's imagination.
