The Road to Afghanistan by Linda Granfield
4.0
“The Road to Afghanistan” is a picture book written by Linda Granfield, a veteran who completed four tours in Afghanistan. She writes about real experiences and real people.
I appreciate how Granfield is able to bring such a difficult issue, as Afghanistan is, into the awareness of children. Afghanistan is a political, moral, and trying issue. The content of discussion often recalls moments of violent, distress, and difficulties. Granfield was able to bring all these issues to the forefront, while still making it accessible to children. She does not go into great detail, but instead provides a start for children to learn more about important issues.
