Author and Illustrator: Peter Sis
Why Selected: Award winner
Literary Merit: Historical book about communism and it's effects on people. But in a graphic novel, cartoon style so it appeals to kids too. Troubled feelings of the time are abundant in the pictures.
Share: Show how vivid pictures can take stories to new heights. A good way to show kids how drawing can help them express their feelings, good and bad.
Appeal: Kids who like history and kids who are reluctant to read history may benefit from this too.
Awards: Sibert-2008
