What are the stories of miracles in your family’s history? What events happened long ago that are still recounted as reminders of the mysteries of life? This nonfiction picture book – illustrated with collages by Isabelle Cardinal – is the story of a miracle: two sisters who survived despite near certain death in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Their courage and determination is remembered and honoured by the two authors: daughters of the sisters in the story. Supplemented with photos, this picture book is recommended for readers 10 years old and as an introduction to teaching older students how to write about their own family histories.Â
