How did an ordinary little girl come to live such an extraordinary life?
This picture book biography tells the incredible story of Anne Frank for
a younger audience.
Anne Frank's diary telling the story of her years in hiding from the
Nazis has affected millions of people. But what was she like as a small
girl, at home with her family and friends; at play and at school? In the
first half of the book we meet Anne as a small child growing up with her
family in Germany. Then we follow her flight to Holland to escape the
Nazis; the German invasion and the gradual isolation, then outright
persecution, of the Jewish population which forces the family into
hiding; the years in the Secret Annex; and her last heart-breaking
journey.
Told with haunting, meticulously researched illustrations, this is the
ideal introduction to Anne Frank's story.
