Lisette's Angel

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Max Ginsburg. In WWII Normandy, Lisette's family suffers the fear and deprivation of living under German occupation. The title angel is a U.S. paratrooper who lands injured in their garden one night. Lisette and her brother Emile briefly hide the American, whose injury (inexplicably) improves. Then he disappears, leaving chocolate for Emile and his silk parachute for a new dress for Lisette. The book is illustrated with realistic, detailed oil paintings.
