Literary Classics is an organization
dedicated to promoting excellence in literature. Through our AWARDS,
BOOK REVIEWS, and SEAL OF APPROVAL PROGRAM, we help you sort through the
many books in circulation today. It is our goal to help you select the
finest books available. Additionally, our programs offer opportunities
for publishers, authors and illustrators to receive recognition for
providing excellence in literature. Below is the review for Kindertransport:
Helen, a young Jewish girl, could no longer play with the kids in her
neighborhood, nor was she allowed to attend school anymore. She
couldn’t understand why the kids who were once her friends now spat at
her and called her horrible names. As if that were not enough, her
parents feared the worst and tearfully insisted on sending her by train
to England where she could be kept safe. Kindertransport – A Child’s Journey,
by Kena Sosa recounts the atrocities of World War II at a time when
children were sent away to escape the tyranny of the Nazi regime. This
relatable and heartfelt story is told from the perspective of young
Helen as she struggles with accepting her new fate while hoping and
praying for her parent’s safety. Recommended for home and school
libraries, Kindertransport – A Child’s Journey has earned the Literary Classics Seal of Approval.
