My Clementine
A loyal captain narrates the story of his beloved ship's extraordinary 50-year life—from the early 1930s, when the refrigerated cargo ship named Clementine was built and launched, to her travels to exotic ports of call around the world, through her service in war and peace, to her eventual resting place at the bottom of the sea. Epic in scope and fine in detail, Roberto Innocenti's illustrations bring the ship and her story to life in this captivating book.
Hiding Edith
The remarkable true story of a young girl named Edith and the French village of Moissac that helped her and many other children during the Holocaust. The town's mayor and citizens concealed the presence of hundreds of Jewish children who lived in a safe house, risking their own safety by hiding the children from the Nazis in plain site, saving them from being captured and detained and most certainly saving their lives.
Let the Celebrations Begin!
Amid rumors of liberation, inmates at Germany’s Belsen camp create toys for a celebration in a moving story of hope, based on a true account. Miriam lives in hut 18, bed 22. She has little to eat and nothing to play with, but she can remember what it was like before, when she had her own food, her own bed, and her very own toys. As World War II nears an end, everyone says the soldiers are coming, so Miriam joins the women in planning a celebration. Every night, while the guards sleep, they busy themselves crafting toys out of scraps of their clothing to surprise the younger children. Based on a reference to a small collection of stuffed toys made by women in Belsen for the first party held after the liberation of the camp, this new edition of Let the Celebrations Begin!, originally published in 1996, is an affecting story of human survival.
