During World War II, a young German girl's curiosity leads her to discover something far more terrible than the day-to-day hardships and privations that she and her neighbors have experienced. Renowned Italian artist Roberto Innocenti, a child himself during World War II, brings a child's war story to life in his honestly wrought book. This unflinching tale of ethics and compassion is unforgettable in its illustrations and observation.
