This graphic novel of a refugee’s desperate journey to free himself from the corrupt and hopeless existence of his hometown is not based on a true story and surprisingly this makes for a stronger work. I think this is because we don’t need to question the extremity and validity of what he experiences in his escape. As fiction we can instead imagine and know such hardships exist; we are not drawn into a ‘did this really happen?’ ‘is he exaggerating events for effect’ discussion, which might dilute the compassion felt for these people whose lives are such a bleak struggle. Instead, our focus is on what it should be on: namely that somewhere out there, people like Alpha who want to provide for their families find it impossible to do so in their native country and face difficult choices between oppressed status quo’s or perilous quests to the Western world - complete with encounters of extortion, fear, abuse, disease, humiliation, captivity; slim chances of success and often fatal results in failure. Refugees give everything for such a small reward and it is poignantly captured in this short and stylishly illustrated graphic novel.… (mere)

Spoiler: The elephant gets easier to find as the jungle around her disappears and a city encroaches, eventually forcing the elephant into a tiny zoo. But she and her parrot and snake friends bust out of the zoo and hop on a boat to a fresh jungle.

If only it were that easy in real life...

Save the whales and save our oceans. That is the purpose of this simply wonderful book. In it our main character takes a boat out to sea. One day in a storm, the mean character is saved by a whale. And eventually our human character has to save the whale from the trash buildup in their system from all the pollution in the oceans. This story is super simple but effective. It gets to the message, the message is understandable, and the message is actionable. Overall, this is a fantastic book that kids will want to read over and over.… (mere)

I just picked this up from the new children's book section at my library, and flipped through it, not knowing what it was about. Though the book only has nine words, it's a very powerful story of what deforestation does to an environment and its animal inhabitants. Great way to talk to kids about this issue!
