Key Selling Points:
Inspired by the true story of a baby that was born in a Holocaust concentration camp and successfully hidden from the guards. The baby went undetected because it made virtually no noise, until the day the camp was liberated and she made her first powerful, screaming cry.
Not only did the characters in the book survive, they miraculously reconnected fifty years later in a powerful encounter that concludes the book.
Anti-Jewish hate crimes are on the rise in North America and teaching about the Holocaust is as important as ever. Prompting some school boards to introduce it to the curriculum in grade six.
Kathy Kacer has written, co-authored, and edited over 30 books on the Holocaust. Her books have won many awards including the Silver Birch, the Red Maple, the Hackmatack, and the Jewish Book Award.
This is Kathy Kacer’s fourth picture book, following the celebrated The Brave Princess and Me, the bestseller I am Not a Number (co-authored with Dr. Jenny Kay Dupuis), and the widely praised The Magician of Auschwitz.
Gabrielle Grimard is the award-winning children’s book illustrator of Stolen Words, Snow Doves, When I Was Eight, and many more.
