The Yellow Star by Carmen Agra Deedy
The Yellow Star is a story about people living in Demark who were just Danes until the Germans came and life began to become very difficult. It was especially dangerous when Jews were instructed to sew onto all of their clothing a yellow star. King Christian X was determined to keep all of his jewish citizens safe. He worked very hard to protect his people. This great legend is crossed with many great facts and helps children to understand an era when things were very different from what they are today. The story is accompanied by many great oil paintings that help to tell this story.
