Yesterday while at the college Library that I tutor at I picked up the first graphic novel that I have truly enjoyed! I am not a massive fan of comics and while I love that the students are loving them I love few things more than a real actual novel!
I picked up a book called Hidden: A Child's Story of the Holocaust by Loic Dauvillier .This is the story of a grandma telling her Granddaughter about her experience growing up during the holocaust. This book had so much real emotion and brought me to tears several times. The story was truly brought to life through the pictures and it was kind of magical!
The story is a fast read and a great companion for students who are reading books such as The Book Thief, The Diary of Anna Frank and Number the Stars. I think my favorite part is that the story is not all sad. It is the story of triumph and growing up in a scary time. It is a story of hope and being stronger than one every thought they could be!
This is a book that I feel I will keep in my heart for years to come. It is a story that shows what great strength can from love and hope!
Happy Monday,
Ms. Cara
