In the Shadow of the Fallen Towers written and illustrated by Don Brown*

 Through a graphic novel, Mr. Brown relates the events of 9/11 and its aftermath. He captures the suddeness of the attack and the horror of the first moments and days thereafter. In the author's note he shares about the war, Iraq (weapons of massive destruction)and Abu Zubaydah. He also follows up with individuals' stories he had mentioned throughout the novel.

He wrote and published this book twenty years after 9/11 right before President Biden withdrew the troops from Afghanistan. 

*Highly recommend (for upper elementary-high school).

-Borrowed from the library.
