Danny Bénédite and the Rescue Committee hide young Aube Breton and her artist parents--along with other famous artists and writers--in a villa in Nazi-occupied France. The heroic true story is told simply and honestly, with an emphasis on the importance of justice and creativity. Crosshatched art depicts the group's joyful camaraderie despite perilous circumstances. Historical afterword with photos included. Reading list, websites.
