description: "Ingenious...A book that is rich wtih storytelling, art and memory." -- Pnina Moed Kass, Sydney Taylor Award medal winner, 2004 This emotionally realistic story takes a hard look at the aftereffects of war, yet expresses hope for personal fulfillment through creative expression and supportive family relationships. The book's nuanced plot is enhanced by a detailed three-panel fold-out illustration at the end of the book.This innovative format, unique for ages 12 and up, physcially mimics the thematic union of verbal and visual expression. Just as during the novel storytelling leads to art, so too in the physical book, text leads to illustration.
