The Breadwinner

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.

Very good. Brings new meaning to the oft mentioned “first world” problems we all have. I enjoyed learning more about Afghanistan.
