Krátky popis
In 1938, twenty-nine-year-old Nicholas Winton saved the lives of
almost 700 children trapped in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia-a story
he never told and that remained unknown until an unforgettable TV
appearance in the 1980s reunited him with some of the children he
saved. Czech-American artist, MacArthur Fellow and Andersen Award
winner Peter Sis dramatises Winton's story in this distinctive and
deeply personal picture book. He intertwines Nicky's efforts with
the story of one of the children he saved-a young girl named Vera,
whose family enlisted Nicky's aid when the Germans occupied their
country. As the war passes and Vera grows up, she must find balance
in her dual identities-one her birthright, the other her choice.
Nicky & Vera is a masterful tribute to a humble man's courageous
efforts to protect Europe's most vulnerable, and a timely portrayal
of the hopes and fears of those forced to leave their homes and
create new lives.
