Editorial Reviews

Review

* "Mochizuki and Lee's inspired treatment brings out the import of Sugihara's brave and compassionate decision... A stirring story." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Lee's stirring mixed-media illustrations in sepia shades are humane and beautiful; they capture the intensity of those days-when the crowds were at the gate and one man wrote and wrote the visas by hand-from the child's viewpoint. The immediacy of the narrative will grab kids' interest." -- Booklist

"This simple but stirring tale of courage and compassion seen through the eyes of a child is a unique contribution to holocaust literature for young readers." -- The Horn Book

"This is the kind of hard-hitting book that demands to be read-aloud and discussed, as it initiates powerful feelings about prejudice, humanness and integrity that need to be part of every child's learning. In this third collaboration of author and illustrator, Mochizuki and Lee have proven themselves to be a powerful team." -- The Children's Book Review
