It is told by the girl when she is an old woman. She gets angry when Lydia has to leave on the French girl's birthday, not understanding until later that she was taken by the Germans. The last things she says to Lydia is that she hates her for leaving. She never saw Lydia again and doesn't know if she survived. She expresses her guilt that those were her last words and that she didn't have a chance to apologize. This book was translated from French. It gives a fantastic view of the guilt felt by many Europeans because the didn't protest treatment of the Jews by the Nazis. This isn't a viewpoint that is studied in the United States. It would be a great book to read while studying WWII. This story's illustrations provide a stark representation of what children might feel like after they lose someone in their life or how sad they feel when something occurs in their lives that they cannot control. This story provides a serious topic in story form in language that children can understand. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
