Rubin has written an incisive introduction to Dicker-Brandeis, who taught the children of Terezin concentration camp to express their fears and hopes in drawing and poetry. The emphasis on the visual--reproduction of children's art--plus the use of the picture book format make this a notable introduction to the Holocaust for younger readers yet of interest to older audiences as well. Bib., ind.
