Children's Book Tells Tale of Iraq Librarian
It's not every day that an illustrated children's book about war is published. But author Jeanette Winter has created a book about a librarian who saved 70 percent of an Iraqi town's books during the U.S. invasion. The book is called The Librarian of Basra: A True Story from Iraq. Michele Norris talks with Winter about her inspiration for the book - an article she read about the librarian in a newspaper.
