Maurice and His Dictionary: A True Story by Cary Fagan

5.0

Maurice and His Dictionary is a short, beautifully done graphic novel about the journey the author's father took out of Nazi-occupied Europe as a Jewish child with his family. The story is incredibly moving, stressing Maurice's love for learning and his love for his family as they try to stay safe in tumultuous times. Children today will be able to learn about some of the impact of the Holocaust while also reading a story that they will be able to connect to the modern struggles of refugees. The art is lovely and toned down in a way that feels respectful to the story, accessible to children, and easy on the eyes of anyone who enjoys comics.

This is a comic book I would happily recommend to all ages.
