Perfect for:
- Readers aged 6 and up who are fascinated by real stories of courage
- Lovers of amazing true stories such as The Little Refugee and The Happiest Boy on Earth
- Families who want to introduce their children to a significant artist who has a unique place in history
- Classroom use in primary school settings when discussing the Holocaust, especially the French Resistance
- Gift giving to the art lover or collector of picture books
