Title: One of the best children's books out there
Review: Ye In a sea of books on the Holocaust, this one really stands out. First, the format is more poetic, and the word choices change as the protagonist ages from 5-10. My nine year old daughter and I were both charmed by this nice touch. This true story chronicles 5 years in the life of one of only 12 children to survive the Lodz Ghetto in Poland. Over the course of the book, Syvia goes from being ashamed to wearing her yellow star, to having it save her life and the life of 800 other Jewish people. We have read numerous books in this genre, including many award winning ones, yet this is the favorite of both of us. Further, this story documents horrors in a way that children can understand and still sleep at night. Highly Recommended!
