#12BOOKSOF2022 This one really stuck with me a picture book I read for #foodandlit

MAY

Author Bahram Rahman grew up in Afghanistan during years of civil war and the restrictive Taliban regime of 1996-2001. He wrote The Library Bus to tell new generations about the struggles of women who, like his own sister, were forbidden to learn.

Books saved me as a child. To not be allowed to read and learn is a fate worse than death.
