Jars of Hope by Jennifer Roy
Amid the horrors of World War II, Irena Sendler was an unlikely and unsung hero. While many people lived in fear of the Nazis, Irena defied them, even though it could have meant her life. She kept records of the children she helped smuggle away from the Nazis’ grasp, and when she feared her work might be discovered, she buried her lists in jars, hoping to someday recover them and reunite children with their parents. This gripping true story of a woman who took it upon herself to help save 2,500 children from the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust is not only inspirational; it's unforgettable.
Jennifer Roy is the author of the modern classic Yellow Star, the true story of her aunt’s survival during the Holocaust; the award-winning Mindblind about a teen with Asperger’s Syndrome; and the best-selling Trading Faces series co-authored with her twin sister, Julia DeVillers. Jennifer and her family currently reside in Saratoga Springs, New York. Meg Owenson is an Illustrator and concept artist who works from her small seaside studio in Scarborough, UK.
