Synopsis
A tale of friendship and bravery in the midst of unthinkable horror, this classic Holocaust story from master storyteller Patricia Polacco is a vital lesson in the power of hope. In this Holocaust story based on real events and passed from the narrator to her niece, the author-illustrator herself, Patricia Polacco once again celebrates the shared humanity of the peoples of this world. Ever since the Nazis marched into Monique’s small French village, terrorizing it, nothing surprises her. That is, until the night Monique encounters a little ghost sitting at the end of her bed. She turns out to be a Jewish girl named Sevrine who has been hiding from the Nazis in Monique’s basement. Playing after dark, the two become friends. But when they are discovered, both of their families must embark on a nighttime flight. And Monique can only hope that the freedom of the butterflies in her garden will reach Sevrine as well., Since the Tall Boots–the Nazis–have marched into Monique’s small French village, terrorizing it, nothing surprises her. Until the night Monique encounters “the little ghost” sitting at the end of her bed. When she turns out to be–not a ghost at all–but a young girl named Sevrine, who has been hiding from the Nazis in Monique’s own basement, how could Monique not be surprised Playing upstairs after dark, the two become friends until, in a terrifying moment, they are discovered, sending both of their families into a nighttime flight. In the tradition of Pink and Say , Patricia Polacco once again dips into her own family’s history to reveal her Aunt Monique’s true story of friendship from the French Resistance.
