Shulevitz handles his autobiographical material with grace and humor. It belongs to the newly popular genre of memoir as picture book. “Caldecott Medal winner Uri Shulevitz's newest picture book, How I Learned Geography, is really a love story for the world. 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 “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. “It is a masterpiece.” - New York Times Book Review
