“Exceptionally well written, organized and presented...especially and unreservedly recommended for elementary school, middle school, and community library biography collections.”—Mid-West Book Review
“This series is so cool! It combines history and an almost graphic novel layout to teach readers about different well-known figures throughout history.”—The Tiny Activists
"I absolutely love Anne Frank. I have read her diary more times than I can count… Her story has stayed with me and will forever… The Holocaust is hard to teach and not all children are ready to hear the horrors of war but it can be taught gently and sensitively through books and it is something I believe passionately our young people should know about so that they can play their part in sharing the story and ensuring such horrors never happen again. So that they can find inspiration in the story of a young girl who in spite of everything believed that all people were good and dreamed of a better world”—@picturebookplaydate
