Brief Annotation: This story is about two little girls in France in the midst of World War II. It is a story of bravery and passion.

Grade Level: 1st-3rd
Readers who will like this: Children that are learning about WWII will enjoy this story. Children that are Jewish or have any link to the war can also relate.
Response/Rating (1-4): 3; I liked this book about the invasion on France during WWII. It is a sort of sad book but true to life. It would be a wonderful idea to use this book during a history lesson or when talking about the war. It is important to use historical fiction picture books during a history lesson because it often times gives children a different and more visual perspective.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: If someone was accused of something that wasn't true, would you hide them in your house in order to help them escape jail?
