Three Balls of Wool by Henriqueta Cristina
5.0
What fascinating discovery one can experience reading the history behind Amnesty International from this children's book, to read a lesser known story about Porteguese fascism, and to experience what life was like in Communist Central Europe through this book. This book would pair beautifully with Peter Sis' The Wall for a historical study of life in communist countries, and also, the adult book written by Holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning. This book contains an excellent example, ala Frankl, of how one can choose one's own attitude for how to deal with adversity.
It gives one hope doesn't it, to know that Amnesty International was essentially invented in 1961? In the span of human existance, it is just getting started.
This book belongs in every school library in the world because children do not get the chance to read about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enough. This book provides an opportunity.
