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

3.0

Similar to The Librarian of Basra, "Alia's Mission: Saving the Books of Iraq" is a fascinating true-life story, a short children's biography drawn as a black-and white graphic novel, about one heroic librarian who, together with her community, secretly saved 30,000 books from being destroyed in the Iraq War. I just wish it were longer and in color - but still, à good story and great for kids to learn about!
