No Pretty Pictures: A Child of War

(2) YA Illustrator Anita Lobel's memoir of her traumatic years in Poland spent under the threat of annihilation by the Nazis is notable both as an account of survival and as a revelation of a remarkable human being. But what makes the book truly haunting is the perspective from which it is told--that of a child who does not fully comprehend what she is witnessing.
Reviewer: Mary M. Burns | Horn Book Magazine Issue: November, 1998
