Illustrations:
Marc Lizano is the main illustrator who created the outlines for all the illustrations in this book and did a wonderful job of creating imaginative scenes and characters. Greg Salsedo then came as the secondary illustrator to fill these scenes and characters with life. He inked all the color and extra story into the pages.

In the classroom:
I think this book is great for young readers. This story is full of determination, hope, and history that all students should be exposed too. I think this book is a fantastic example of the history of the holocaust and could benefit any lesson or collection.
