"A compelling work, based on true events, is skillfully rendered with compassion and expertise." (Audiofile)

Great book to share with my 6th grade class.

We loved it. My students were inspired to take on some injustices as well and it gave us relevant information about today's world.

Impactful and well told

So powerful. Appropriate for middle school aged kids. Appreciated the narration. Such an impactful story that should be known!

School book

Loved the Hope given to the children

I don’t like sad endings. But there was also hope in that. Even though things happen, death happens, what we do while we love brings inspiration to all those around us.
