It Rained Warm Bread: Moishe Moskowitz's Story of Hope

148 pp. | Holt/Ottaviano | August, 2019 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-16572-5 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Lea Lyon. Says young Moishe Moskowitz: "The wolves are coming" to Poland, "a country that has no use for us. / A country that bullies its citizens / beats up on us because we are different." The Nazi wolves soon reveal their plans: the ghetto, concentration camps, death marches. Smith's spare, eloquent verse is complemented by occasional watercolor sketches. An author's note from Moskowitz-Sweet offers more about her late father on whose memories this historical-fiction verse novel is based.
