- It is an important contribution to the theme of Holocaust. In the book there are the original drawings made by Captain Antonio Colaleo, prisoner in concentration camps of Poland and Germany from 1943 to 45. The drawing becomes the means through which the transmission of our history to the world of children is realized, in turn, they become the protagonists.
- The author, with wise communication skills, knows how to speak to children, since she is strongly involved in school workshops to address the difficult issue of war with children. The illustrator chose to use the mixed form of the “drawing-document” that enhances History and Fantasy.
- It is a true story, which involves and awakens in young people the desire to go in search of their roots.
