"Fascinating." --The Wall Street Journal
"It is a masterpiece." --New York Times Book Review
"Shulevitz's simply worded text can be read to preschoolers, but it packs an emotional punch that will resonate with older children and even adults. The watercolor and ink illustrations add further depth as Shulevitz switches from a monochrome palette to a chorus of colors spotlighting how the map stirred his imagination." --Washington Post Book World
"Caldecott Medal winner Uri Shulevitz's newest picture book, How I Learned Geography, is really a love story for the world. It belongs to the newly popular genre of memoir as picture book. Shulevitz handles his autobiographical material with grace and humor. . . . Shulevitz always puts character at the forefront of his work. The expressions and gestures of his characters are believable, human-scale, and tender, full of dreaming." --The Boston Globe
"Lyrical watercolors depict . . . the power of imagination." --The San Francisco Chronicle
"The essence of his tale lies in the power of imagination." --The Sacramento Bee
"The story and its triumphant afterword demonstrate that Uri masters much more than geography; he realizes the importance of nurturing the soul." --Starred, Publishers Weekly
"This poignant story can spark discussion about the power of the imagination to provide comfort in times of dire need." --Starred, School Library Journal
"Whether enjoyed as a reflection of readers' own imaginative travels, or used as a creative entree to classroom geography units, this simple, poignant offering will transport children as surely as the map it celebrates." --Starred, Booklist
"Signature watercolor illustrations contrast the stark misery of refugee life with the boundless joys of the imagination." --Kirkus Reviews
"This is a wonderful tale and a timely message of hope." --Ellen Scott, The Bookworm, Omaha, NE
"A tribute to the power of wide imaginative horizons, this gains impact from its basis in Shulevitz's own experiences, which give it reality beyond mere wishful thinking." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"This is a natural pair with Peter Sis's The Wall for its depiction of a gifted young artist finding inspiration and expressing himself despite profoundly daunting circumstances." --The Horn Book
"This simple, poignant offering will transport children as surely as the map it celebrates." --Book Links
