A lion's roar can be heard from five miles away.
I really liked how this book was based on historical events of the middle east. I wasn't well educated on the the history of those countries and I enjoyed learning about it while reading. I liked the reading experience because it was different from what I am used to reading. It was fun to be able to look at the pictures to actually see the point the aurthor was trying to get across. I would definitely keep Persepolis in the curriculum. It shows students a different reading style, gives students something different to read about and it fits the theme of coming of age.

I definitely agree with you on all of this. I really didn't know much about the middle east either, and I feel much better informed now. Also, I enjoyed looking at the pictures too. It seems like so long since I've read a picture book, so it was kind of fun to have that again.
