by Jose Jorge Letria (Author), André Letria (Illustrator)


A Boston Globe-Horn Book Honor Book
An award-winning, stunningly illustrated, sober depiction of war.

A recipient of the prestigious Nami Concours prize, this remarkable book of striking, often surreal illustrations and sparse prose reveals the many sides of war: where it comes from, how it creeps up on us, and how it destroys everything in its wake.

This evocative and bold work is an excellent resource for educators in facilitating difficult yet necessary discussions about wars that continue to be fought around the world.

As Deborah Ellis, author of the Breadwinner series, says: "If children are tough enough to be bombed and starved, they're tough enough to read about it."
