4 🌟If you were just to look at the illustrations of this book and not the story, you might think it will be a happy tale. The illustrations are reminiscent of Charles Schultz and Ziggy. That soft rounded style of cartoon characters, but inside the pages it holds a sad and heartfelt story about a woman who helped rescue kids from the Ghettos of Poland during the war. It can fit in with books like Maux, ... Anne Frank, and the Devil‘s Arithmetic.
