review:
'The Most Beautiful Village in the World' by Yutaka Kobayashi is a beautiful picture book for young readers with a shocking, abrupt ending that may not be for all little readers. I personally found it lovely and poignant.

Young Yamo lives in the Afghan village of Paghman. His older brother is a soldier, so he has to go in to the village to see cherries with his father. The marketplace is busy and Yamo meets lots of nice people there. He sells all of his fruit, but his father doesn't. They have lunch and decide to buy a lamb to take home. [spoilers removed]

I adored the full 2-page illustrations. They show a vibrant culture and make it a place that I wouldn't mind visiting.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Museyon Inc. and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
