Perrin's book "Fresh Water for Flowers" was an amazing book, when I saw she'd written a new one I HAD to read it. She has such a talent for telling stories about the most interesting cast of characters. She's one of those authors that I keep a pen close at hand to write down and remember things she's said. Such a good book.

Persepolis
by Marjane Satrapi
View in Library Catalog
book cover


Marjane shares her experience of living in Iran as a child during the Islamic revolution in graphic novel form. Her story is both heartbreaking and hopeful, as we see her parents (and Marjane) find joy in small rebellions but also see friends and neighbors lose freedoms and their lives. It does a great job of showing how quickly these things can happen and feels particularly prescient in this moment in American history. It’s a quick but harrowing read; make it part of your 250th anniversary celebration as a reminder of what could happen, and as inspiration of what is worth fighting for.

my niece read this book for school. I did not read it when i was in school. it was an amazing book. S E hinton was 15 when she wrote this! truly incredible!
