Book Description
for Rose Blanche by Roberto Innocenti and Christophe Gallaz
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Symbolic reference to the anti-Nazi White Rose Movement in Germany heighten the impact of a brief allegory in which a village child secretly shares food with prisoners in a nearby concentration camp. A provocative and somber 11¼" x 8½" book of paintings and a brief text chronicle the odyssey of an innocent child as she witnesses and subsequently responds to individual and corporate evils of the Hitler regime. (Age 9 and older)
