Uri Shulevitz

Troto's a happy little car who likes to go places until he drives all the way to Cactusville and meets some big trucks that tease him for being so small.

As he spends hours studying his father's world map, a young boy escapes the hunger and misery of refugee life. Based on the author's childhood in Kazakhstan, where he lived as a Polish refugee during World War II. En esta historia, basada en los recuerdos de su infancia durante la II Guerra Mundial, Uri Shulevitz cuenta cómo un mapa lo llevó, con la ayuda de su imaginación, muy lejos del hambre, la miseria y el sufrimiento.
