Praise
“Haunting and deeply affecting, this take on Anne Frank’s iconic story will be one readers won’t easily forget.” —Booklist starred review
“…[T]he spare text and delicate illustrations create a moving and powerful ode to the tree that gave Anne comfort and hope during the years she and her family hid from the Nazis…A noteworthy and highly recommended introduction to a difficult and significant topic.”
