Tali is staying at her Oma's apartment after a storm demolishes their house. She is upset at losing everything. "People have survived worse," says her mother ― Oma survived World War II, and never speaks of it. But that night, Oma shares her story of Holocaust survival, the brass monkey charm that she was given in the camp, and a message of kindness and perseverance in the face of disaster.
This book includes an author's note, in which Monique Polak explains how it was inspired by her mother's true experience at Terezin, a Nazi concentration camp in what is now the Czech Republic.
Monique knew from a young age that she wanted to do something creative. She would have liked to follow in her grandfather's footsteps and become a painter, so for her tenth birthday, she asked for an easel and a book about painting. She got the easel and the book, but discovered she was not very good at painting ― so she decided to become a writer instead, because she'd always loved inventing stories.
Monique Polak currently resides in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Marie Lafrance has spent her whole life drawing pictures, at first to keep from biting her nails, then for magazines, newspapers, posters, billboards, board games and the likes. She also illustrated tons of educational books, and eventually segued into picture books. She currently lives in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
