Maurice and His Dictionary: A True Story by Cary Fagan

3.0

'Maurice and His Dictionary' by Cary Fagan with illustrations by Enzo Lord Mariano is a picture book based on a true story full of survival and persistence.

Maurice and his family live in Belgium during World War II. Maurice wants to become a lawyer, but his family is Jewish and on the run. When they move to France, then Jamaica, Maurice still keeps trying to find ways to study.

I like this true story of a family enduring through some pretty hard times. I especially liked the photos and story at the end of the book.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Owlkids Books and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
