How i learned geography by uri shulevitz5/12/2023 How I Learned Geography was written by Uri Shulevitz and there’s an author’s note in the back - it tells the story of how Uri and his family came to be living as refugees. One that is read solemnly at first, then buoyantly as Uri discovers the pleasures of a map, some knowledge, and an imagination. It sounds like a serious book so far, doesn’t it? It is - but more than that, it’s a happy book. Implicit questions mean that there don't need to be final answers or even final thoughts.įor instance, a four-year-old might gasp when the father buys a map instead of bread, or a teen might wonder how she would react if her father did that. Neither response needs an answer, simply feeling the quandary adds to life-experience. How I Learned Geography is a book for children as young as four (maybe even younger) on through the teen years. And that means questions like the above will sometimes be more implicit in conversation than explicit – but that’s the best way, isn't it.
