War (Aldana Libros)

A Boston Globe-Horn Book Award Honor Book

This award-winning, beautifully illustrated, and sobering depiction of war is a recipient of the prestigious Nami Concours Award. With engaging, often surreal illustrations and concise prose, it unpacks all facets of war: where it comes from, how it creeps up on us, and how it destroys everything.

This thought-provoking and groundbreaking work is a magnificent resource for educators in guiding the difficult but necessary discussions about the wars still taking place around the world.

As Deborah Ellis, author of the Breadwinner series, states: "If children are strong enough to endure being bombed and starved, they are strong enough to read about war."
