Author: Loic Dauvillier
Rating: 4.5/5 Stars
Reviewer: Julie H.
Summary: This serious graphic novel begins with a young girl listening as her
grandmother shares, for the first time, of how she was hidden away from the
Nazis after being separated from her parents as a young Jewish girl in Paris.
The story is sad, but ends on a positive note. The book also includes an
afterword that provides more historical details to accompany the story.
Review: While this graphic novel is about a grim subject, it also highlights
the kindness of people in a time of need and the power of hope. The
illustrations really convey the characters’ emotions, and the dialogue will
teach young readers about a terrible time in history while still offering them
a happy ending. I would recommend this for children 3rd grade and
up, and I encourage parents to read this book with their child and discuss this
difficult subject together.
