And will it be enough to save her life?A beautiful story of sacrifice and bravery, The Crystal Beads, Lalka's Journey, highlights a piece of the Holocaust - the hidden children - told from the innocent perspective of a child.
Readers also come to understand how people can come together, despite differences, when it really matters.
Advance Praise
A poignant story of bravery, sacrifice, and love. The Crystal Beads: Lalka's Journey teaches the history of hidden children of the Holocaust, evokes compassion through beautiful language and illustration, and leads readers to consider what connects rather than divides us from one another.
-- Jennifer Rosner, author of The Yellow Bird Sings
The Crystal Beads beautifully highlights empathy and compassion. Themes, which as an educator, I consider to be the core components in teaching students about the Holocaust.
