(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. This spare text introduces Korczak, a writer, radio broadcaster, medical doctor, and director of a Jewish orphans' home. When Germany invades Poland and the orphans are sent to a concentration camp, Korczak stoically accompanies them to Treblinka, promising that "no matter what happened, he would be with them." The narrative is moving, yet restrained; the shadowy oil on linen illustrations are appropriately sober. Bib.
Reviewer: Peter D. Sieruta
