Part of the “Ordinary People, Change the World” series, this biography addresses diversity, curiosity, artistry, and persistence. It is a good addition to any library.
Educators may find that the frightening nature of the story is not handled in a way that would be suitable for the target audience. For a more sensitive approach, try Jeff Gottsfeld’s The Tree in the Courtyard: Looking Through Anne Frank’s Window.
