When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit (Out of the Hitler Time, #1)

I remember reading When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit as a child, when I was going through a World War II phase. Judith Kerr is one of my favorite children’s authors (Mog the cat and The Tiger Who Came to Tea are fantastic). Pink Rabbit is Kerr’s autobiographical story based on what happened to her own family during the war.
The book is a gentle but insightful take on the war, being a refugee, and overcoming the changes and challenges of a difficult childhood. I wish I had used this as a read-aloud rather than having my older kids (ages 8 and 9) read it individually, because I think my six-year-old would have liked the story too, but she was daunted by the length. I’ll have to remember to have her read it in a year or two.
