*This engrossing nonfiction picture book explores a complex subject in a way that is accessible to young readers. While the extent of the destruction wrought by the Nazi party is unfathomable, this book uses a thoughtful blend of narrative and illustrations to effectively describe the impact Hitler’s beliefs had on art during that time. Brief segments of text introduce readers to Valland and her life in Paris during WWII, while colorful illustrations depict the danger and destruction in Valland’s vicinity, inviting further discussion with caregivers beyond the confines of the book. End matter includes selected sources and a historical note that provides additional context for older readers.
