Very good. Brings new meaning to the oft mentioned “first world” problems we all have. I enjoyed learning more about Afghanistan.
Parvana is a young girl living with her family in a bombed apartment building in Afghanistan. Her father is taken away by the Taliban and Parvana is forced to disguise herself as a boy in order to obtain food for her family.
It's a compelling story which allows children who have never experienced war or hunger to see what life in other places can be like.
