PICTURE BOOKS
(4) K-3 In these graphic novel picture books for middle-grade readers, Helena and Esther recount their experiences of World War II and the Holocaust to their grandsons, linking family history to the Dutch Resistance and the death camps, respectively. The narratives sometimes strain, reducing characters to mouthpieces delivering historical summaries, but the accessible format and intergenerational plot arcs make these books involving and informative. Review covers these titles: Family Secret and The Search.
