How I Learned Geography


Uri Shulevitz recounts his childhood memories of fleeing to central USSR to escape war and persecution during World War II in this Caldecott Honor book.  Uri's father teaches him the importance of learning and imagination when he buys a map that teaches Uri about the world.  The colorful illustrations in the book are based on his memories of that time.
