The Breadwinner: A Graphic Novel by
4.0
The Breadwinner by Deborah Ellis is a powerful graphic novel with striking art and an inspiring story.
This is a great story to bring awareness of what the people of Afghanistan have been through, especially girls and women. And this story will stick with me for a long time. However, I wanted a little bit more detail, as I have more questions than answers. I’m curious to read the original novels now because I want more of Parvana’s story, and hopefully it’s more fleshed out in those.
I will definitely be reading more from Deborah Ellis — she donates most of her royalty income to worthy causes such as Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan, Street Kids International, the Children in Crisis Fund of IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People) and UNICEF. She has donated more than one million dollars in royalties from her Breadwinner books alone.
