"Vera Propp has done a masterful job of reducing the terrors of the Holocaust and war to the believable scale of an eight-year-old. Anytime we bring the inhumanity of war to children through literature, there is the risk of either traumatizing the child or trivializing the event. Not so here. What is obvious in this book, besides the clarity and tenderness with which it is told, is the fact that the author truly understands children - the ones in the book and the ones who will read it."
