Mix feeling about this one. First it look good enough and the illustrations have a unique and beautiful style. The story present a small afghan village where fruits grows and the family that grows them. Very easy cheesy story and then boom, last pages, two sentences, very hard, where that came from, ending. I understand the point of view trying to show the ravage that war does everywhere but the message don't get through that well. If you read it with children, this definitely need an after talk. Still a good one!
