Eli Remembers

32 pp. | Eerdmans | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8028-5309-7 $16.00
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth. This sobering story is about Eli, a young Jewish boy who learns how his great-grandmother's family, and thousands of others, were shot and killed by Nazis in Lithuanian forests during World War II. Farnsworth's somber oil paintings accompanying the text are notable for their depth of tone and realistic detail, though some of the scenes depicting people are static.
