The Yellow Star: The Legend of King Christian X of Denmark

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Henri Sorensen. When the Nazi occupiers threaten the Jews of Denmark, King Christian X sews a yellow star onto his own clothing, defying Hitler's orders and empowering all Danes to proclaim solidarity with their Jewish friends and neighbors. This well-told legend is coupled with handsome oil paintings that echo and extend the tale's narrative strength and precise setting. An author's note separates fact from fiction.
