When Michael was growing up, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war, his dad would say, and weren’t after. Over many years, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members, scoured the internet, pored over books and travelled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“One of our most popular children’s authors … Michael Rosen has a talent for saying much in the simplest way.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Times\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChildren's Laureate Michael Rosen is one of the most popular authors for children.
