Nicky & Vera: A Quiet Hero of the Holocaust and the Children He Rescued

"Nicky had a secret. An unassuming businessman, he saved hundreds of children from the Nazis – and never told anyone. This brilliant picture book by author-illustrator Peter Sis is also the story of Vera, a young Czech girl Nicky helped rescue. Their lives come together 50 years later when he is surprised on a television show and honored by those he saved. In addition to the moving text, the exquisite art is at once intimate and expansive, as is this incredibly moving story. (For ages 6 to 8)"
