Product Description:

This 75-page book tells a story of childhood bravery during the German occupation of France during WWII. Ten Jewish children are brought to a school where twenty other children are staying during the war. They forge friendships and play games that involve finding ways of hiding the Jewish children. When Nazis come to search the school, the games end and the children have to band together to protect themselves and their friends. This wonderful story of courage and loyalty includes several black and white illustrations. ~ Rachel S.

Rated 5 out of 5
This is an incredible true short story! While it may be a 6th grade reading level I read it aloud to my 4 and 5 year old boys and they loved it! The first time through I read the five chapters in one day because they kept begging for more Since then they've asked me to read it again It really ties in the persecution of the Jews from Jesus' times and its similarity to WWII It is intense though it didn't scare my kids We had to stop often to talk about cruelty and loyalty and generosity It conveyed food shortage so that my kids could begin to grasp what it might be like It also ended beautifully in a way that had everyone laughing and smiling! I think it's a great book to introduce the seriousness of war and persecution while showing children's bravery and joy to be triumphant I'm sure we will enjoy this book as a family for many years to come
