I really enjoyed this book and I can see myself using this book if I am a fifth grade teacher. I think that the way the story is told is very important for students to see how things are in Afghanistan. I think many people may be close minded about people from the Middle East since 9/11, but after reading this book their eyes will be opened to see that it isn't great over their either. I think one of the main things that really caught my attention was that the characters from Afghanistan didn't want to leave there to come to America. I thought this book was very emotional especially when her whole family died, but it is a reality and it is good to show students what happens in the real world.
I think the author did an excellent job with this novel. I think it was very important that she went over to Afghanistan and interviewed people so that her story was very close to the truth and told the story of these people from their perspective. I am very glad that I had read the Breadwinner before reading this. It gave me a little bit of background knowledge about the Middle East and how women are treated. This book opened my eyes and I am very glad we read it in this class.
