Topic
- The form: aimed at children, this very delicate autobiographical tale gives positivity and hope without neglecting the possibility of providing much food for thought.
- The transversality of the story: the author, one of the few remaining witnesses, with the help of her daughter, “dialogues” with the very young readers.
- The themes: hope; joy; the importance of family affections.
“A way to respond to those who, like the author, have raised the problem of testimony after witnesses in recent years” Prof. Deborah D’Auria (holder of the Chair of History of Judaism).
Reader profile
- Children aged 7 and up
