Author & Illustrators
This captivating picture book is based on the real life experiences of Rosa, a Jewish girl living in Vienna. The story contains the memories of the author’s mother and her family experiences during WW2.
Beautifully illustrated, we follow the journey of Rosa and her family, as their family business is forced to change how it operates, how the place they call home changes and how they hold on to hope through the darkest timest. This picture book is a perfect addition to a library for a World War 2 topic but it is also a good discussion point for PSHE for a number of themes including migration, tolerance and difference.
Perfect for UKS2 learners and a worthy picturebook for older readers to add to topic or library collections.
