Publisher's Synopsis

See below for English description.

Tali vit dans l'appartement d'Oma, car une tempête a démoli sa maison. Elle est triste d'avoir tout perdu. « Des gens ont survécu à pire que ça, Tali », lui rappelle sa mère. Oma a vécu la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, mais elle n'en parle jamais. Cette nuit-là, Oma raconte à Tali comment elle a survécu à l'Holocauste. Elle lui offre la breloque en laiton qu'elle a reçue dans les camps et lui livre un message de persévérance face au désespoir des moments sombres.

Ce magnifique album illustré, inspiré de l'histoire vraie de la mère de

l'auteure Monique Polak, nous inspire à trouver l'espoir et la gentillesse

dans l'adversité.

Tali is staying at her Oma's apartment after a storm demolishes her house. She is upset at losing everything. "People have survived worse," says her mother -- Oma survived World War Two, and never speaks of it. That night, Tali's Oma shares her story of Holocaust survival, the brass monkey charm that she was given in the camp, and a message of perseverance in the face of disaster.

Inspired by the true story of author Monique Polak's mother, this

beautiful picture book explores finding hope and kindness in the face

of adversity.
