"This book illustrates so beautifully and heartbreakingly what it is like for a child who is forced to flee for one's life. It would be a great resource for lessons and discussions about the Holocaust or about refugees, as it brings a personal touch to these events. This book manages to take a very difficult, even painful subject and frame it in a way that children in upper primary and elementary school grades can handle and understand."
