Today we commemorate the victims of the Holocaust, and I can’t think of a better book to read:
This picture book is a stunning tribute to the life and legacy of Yaffa Eliach, a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust and creator of the “Tower of Life” exhibit in Washington D.C.’s Holocaust Memorial Museum. While the story addresses the horrors of this dark period in history, it does so in a child-appropriate and accessible way. This story is moving, powerful, and beautifully illustrated—a must for every bookshelf.

This holiday is dedicated to the social acceptance of those with disabilities, but I think the heart of this idea is to accept everyone just the way they are. This picture book shares that message to children who may feel uncomfortable in a new situation where they may not “fit in” or feel accepted:
This story is a must read. Woodson’s lyrical text and López’s beautiful illustrations reassure readers that they are not alone in feeling different sometimes, urging them to be brave, to be true to themselves, and to accept others for who they are too. I found this book heartfelt and hopeful and think it’s a staple for any classroom, library, or home bookshelf.
