How I Learned Geography

















How I Learned Geography

Another absolutely perfect book:
Family relationships in the midst of fleeing from war are portrayed so well here.  But it is a kids book - nothing really about war, just that it put them in the situation.  The value of knowledge.  I guess I love learning - I love watching discovery and when a person wants to learn something and their natural thirst for knowledge urges them on - and they learn so well in their own time and way.  The sacrifices one is willing to make for knowledge, it is so beautiful!  I guess I relate to it in a small way when a book is so much more important than food or sleep.
