face on an unfathomable tragedy, as Peter's personality shines
through in his writing. This accessible tribute is an important
addition to children's Holocaust literature."—Booklist, Starred
Review
"This is a valuable addition to the shelves of Holocaust
literature, highlighting both the single-minded determination of
the Germans and the heroic efforts of one French community. . . .
An important, well-written account of survival against overwhelming
odds."—Kirkus Reviews
"this is an important primary source story of a young refugee
during World War II." —School Library Journal
"In this beautifully designed book . . . events come to life
through period photographs juxtaposed with De Saix’s luminous
watercolor illustrations to convey the emotions of persecuted Jews.
. . . There’s a lot to absorb here, but the authors keep the text
simple and clear"—ALJ News and Reviews
