How I Learned Geography

Written and Illustrated by Uri Shulevitz
When a boy and his family flee their war-torn country, they find themselves living in poverty in a strange country. The boy is hungry, so he is disappointed when his father brings home a world map instead of food. But he soon discovers that he can travel the world by looking at the map, which feeds his heart and spirit more than food ever could.
