I can't tell if it's fiction or non-fiction because everything happening in the book is real and happens everyday. I love this book so much!

The graphic novel left out most of the story and the struggle of Pervana. The drawings were fine, but did not convey everything they should have.

A graphic novel about a family in Afghanistan who are struggling to survive. As the conditions of the family worsens, Parvana stepped up to help her family and bring his Baba home.
A touching story almost cried at the end, even though the book is meant to a younger reader, short, but long enough to depict the whole lesson of the story.

A stunning graphic adaptation of the novel. I would love to have my students compare the original novel with this graphic companion. Ellis’ story is powerful and moving no matter how it is presented to readers.

I normally don't read graphic novels. Growing up I enjoyed using my imagination to picture what was happening in books. I never really liked watching movie after reading the books either, there is only so much special effects can do to match the images you can have in your head.
That being said, I've been struggling this year to sit down and actually put time toward reading. I only read one novel this summer and barely made it to the library. The start of the school year has been even more busy. So I've diverted most of my attention to graphic novels as a new way of relaxation, without having to delve into a huge amount of text to read.
I really enjoyed this graphic novel and reflecting on a book I read so long ago. I liked the graphics and the ease of the story.
