How I studied geography

All about what is told in this book, it really happened.
This book is that you can enjoy and be happy, even if you do not have food, toys, a cozy home. Not at all.
War goes. Uri Shulevitsa is only four years old. Together with his parents, he leaves his native house and leaves to Kazakhstan - an unfamiliar country, an unfamiliar language, poverty, hunger. And once, when there is not enough money even on a piece of bread, the father buys a geographical map. And it turns out that there is nothing more interesting than traveling to deserts and oceans, distant huge cities and wonderful corners of the Earth. In imagination.
Uri Shulevitz became a famous artist and traveled the whole world. But the memory of the infinitely expensive gift of his father, he passed through his whole life.
In 2009, the book As I taught the geography received a Caldekott award and was named the best children"s book of the year (Bank Street College of Education).
