Summary:

From a beloved voice in childrens literature comes this landmark memoir of hope amid harrowing times and an engaging and unusual Holocaust story. It was during those years, with threats at every turn, that the young Uri experienced his awakening as an artist, an experience that played a key role during this difficult time. By turns dreamlike and nightmarish, this heavily illustrated account of determination, courage, family loyalty, and the luck of coincidence is a true publishing event.
