FROM THE PUBLISHER

In the frantic spring and summer of 1939, as the Nazi shadow fell over Europe, Nicholas Winton raised money, found foster families in England, arranged travel and visas, and, when necessary, bribed officials and forged documents, organizing the transportation of almost 700 children to safety.

It was only fifty years later that a chance discovery and a famous television appearance brought Winton’s actions to light.

FROM THE PUBLISHER: 

In this amazing new book, Peter Sís employs the artist's lens to give us an extraordinary view of the life of Galileo Galilei. Sís tells his story in language as simple as a fairy tale, in pictures as rich and tightly woven as a tapestry, and in Galileo's own words, written more than 350 years ago and still resonant with truth. This title has Common Core connections.
