Alia's Mission: Saving the Books of Iraq by Mark Alan Stamaty

3.0

This true story tells a little-known tale that might encourage younger readers (and even older ones) to think about how lucky they might be if they have access to books or a decent library. It also helps foster connections, as so much of the exposure of American audiences to Iraq comes through news reports of dictatorial regimes. This book offers an interesting counterpoint that shows that people love to learn and love books, no matter where they live.
