Maurice and His Dictionary: A True Story by Cary Fagan
5.0
Thank you, Netgalley, for a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion!
This is a wonderful nonfiction graphic novel for children! This is not your typical story about Jewish refugees during the Holocaust/WWII. This story shows you a different kind of refugee, one family who lived because they made it to Camp Gibraltar in Jamaica. To be honest, I had never heard of Camp Gibraltar before, but this book peaked my interest, so I will definitely try to learn more about that. And I think that is what this book is all about ... it shows human fate, but also makes you want to know more.
