In 1940, Hans and Margret Rey fled their Paris home as the German army
advanced. They began their harrowing journey on bicycles, pedaling to
Southern France with children's book manuscripts among their few
possessions.
Louise Borden combed primary resources, including Hans Rey's pocket
diaries, to tell this dramatic true story. Archival materials introduce
readers to the world of Hans and Margret Rey while Allan Drummond
dramatically and colorfully illustrates their wartime trek to a new
home.
Follow the Rey's amazing story in this unique large format book that
resembles a travel journal and includes full-color illustrations,
original photos, actual ticket stubs and more. A perfect book for
Curious George fans of all ages.
