Book Description
for Anne Frank by Menno Metselaar and Ruud Van Der Rol
From The United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY)
Most students read The Diary of Anne Frank (1947) by the time they enter high school, which often is too young to comprehend her experi ences. Anne Frank: Her Life in Words and Pictures is the perfect supplement to contextualize her Diary. Primarily illustrated with black-and-white photographs, remarkably sharp considering their age, this photobiography animates Anne and her family before their sequestration, during their time in the attic, and relates the return of Anne’s diary after her ultimate death. Actual pages with her writing, more photos, and an occasional sketch pro vide visual, concrete details of Anne Frank’s life and confinement. 2010 USBBY Outstanding International Books List, 2010 Sydney Taylor Honor Book for Older Readers. lmp
