"How I Learned Geography" by Uri Shulevitz tells the story of a young boy who, after fleeing his home with his family, finds himself in a new land filled with uncertainty. When his father brings home a map, the boy is initially unimpressed, but as he begins to study it, his imagination takes flight. The map becomes a portal to faraway places, offering adventure and wonder. Through vibrant illustrations and engaging storytelling, the book illustrates how geography can spark curiosity and transform a seemingly bleak situation into one of discovery and hope.
