I typically try to stay away from books with language, especially for my kids, but I think I am going to require them to read this in our homeschool this year. They are high schoolers, and I think that this book was both heartbreaking and motivating. I can’t believe people acted this way towards children. I can’t imagine how afraid everyone must have been to get to a point where they felt justified in ignoring such horrendous treatment. I also can’t imagine how these parents were strong enough to allow their children to fight this battle for people who did not appreciate it.
