Beautiful illustrations. A love story within historical fiction picture book. I like that it didn’t tell kids the story of how this all took place, but rather jumped into the actual story instead. Would like to use this to complement a middle school reading unit.

Beautiful artwork with a moving and deeply emotional story. A gentle way to teach young children about dark moments in history.
