Reviews

"... the message of terror and sadness that marks the beginning of the Holocaust is transmitted in a way that is both meaningful and comprehensible. An afterword provides historical context for the story... For all collections."
School Library Journal
"It is not easy to tell young kids the horrifying truth about the Holocaust, but this picture book is a good place to start."
