Book Reviews of The Wall: Growing Up Behind the Iron Curtain (Caldecott Honor Book)
Book Review: My History
Summary: 5 Stars
The book tells partially my history too. The pictures are worth thousand words, yet, the beautiful drawings together with the short descriptive
sentences make understanding of the history easy.
Thank you, Peter Sis for the work. In my opinion all Czech families should have this book at home for their children to make them understand why we left our beautiful country, the culture, the parents and friends.
We left after a Czech student Jan Palach set himself on fire in a protest against the Soviet occupation and died.
It took another twenty years to get rid off communism.
