Shulevitz, known for his award-winning work in picture books, tells the story of his family’s escape from Poland in 1938 after their home was destroyed by Nazi bombs. This first-hand account covers his life from age 4 to 14, as the family travels through Poland to a work camp in the Soviet Union, then finally, at the war’s end, to Paris. This story of survival against all odds is illustrated by the author and is as brutal as it is inspiring.  (Vermont Golden Dome Book Award, 2022)
