The breadwinner : a graphic novel / text adapted by Shelley Tanaka from the Breadwinner film from a screenplay by Anita Doron ; color stills by Breadwinner Canada Inc., Cartoon Saloon, Melusine Productions S.A.
Young Parvana lives with her family in one room of a bombed-out apartment building in Kabul, Afghanistan. Because Parvana's father has a foreign education, he is arrested by the Taliban. Women cannot appear in public unless covered head to toe, go to school, or work outside the home, so the family becomes increasingly desperate until Parvana conceives a plan.
