Review

Arresting oil paintings pair with vivid prose to tell the story of a Polish social worker who concealed Jewish children from the Nazis. . . . A haunting and unflinching portrait of human valiance.



A moving tribute to a courageous woman.

I love the Jewish people they have had a hard time in life and still they struggle to live with all people against them. Irena Sendler understood the Jewish people and was a wonderful Polish Lady they put her self in harms way to help the Jewish people she had true love and compassion because of her love for the Lord Jesus Christ and wanted to help as many Jewish Children as she could and alot of Jewish Mother's that trusted her. Wonderful book of Love.

Even young readers need to know that there are heros in a world of evil and tragedy. Such heros bring hope in a
time of despair. Beautifully illustrated and written in a manner not to bring fear to children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a documentary

The illustrations are gorgeous, but the words are definitely for an older child. It reads like a documentary or text book, instead of a story. It’s not written as a kids story book.
I love Irena’s story, but I would like it to read more smoothly.

This is a beautifully written and beautifully illustsrated story of a not so well known hero. Although it is a children's book (older children) I still found it very well written and something our children should be aware of.

She was very brave. I wonder if young people in our country would have what it takes to lay their lives on the line to protect little kids who cannot defend themselves!

I was looking to find an adult version of the Irena Sendler story. The description of this book at the time of my purchasing it did NOT stress that it was a CHILDREN'S BOOK. So while it is a very great book for kids, it is not what i was looking for.

I was dissapointed with this book well it it is called a book without the pages of pictures it could have been written on one/two pages...I read it in about 20mins. If it had been in a shop and I had seen it there I wouldn't have bought it...more like a childrens illustration book...sorry but being truthfull.
