The Brave Badria Matthew Wilson

The past decade of war, and the continued threat of global terrorism, is not easy to explain to a child. Veterans are even more eager to find a way to share their perspective with their children. The Brave Badria follows the adventures of a young, courageous Afghan girl. Using the wonderment and mysticism of a Middle Eastern "tall tale" and familiar themes of bullying, Badria makes complex subjects accessible to a child. Whether those children be American, British, or Afghan, they'll love cheering for Badria as she resists the evil Snake People who continually seek to control Afghanistan.
