bookshelves: kidlit, holocaust

This wonderful story about a Danish family involved in rescuing their Jewish friends from the Nazis is a good—-and relatively gentle—-introduction to the Holocaust for young children. It’s hard not to be inspired over and over by the incredible moral courage of the Danish people and the strong moral leadership provided by the king, the military, and law enforcement. I wish this book had been around when I was a child.

Lisa Vegan Yes, isn't it amazing that being on Goodreads more allows us to actually read less! I should get off Goodreads and read the book I"m trying to finish by tomorrow! :-)
