Goodreads Review:
Without the yellow star to point them out, the Jews looked like any other Danes.

Lar's family took a long journey from New York where they had arrived first. One day their wagon wheal broke, and Lars took a chance and settled in that area. It was a perfect area for a settlement and now it is a town. I think this book is about taking the chances life gives you eve though sometimes those are disguised as misfortunes. One just does not know a blessing in disguise sometimes; it takes a leap of faith to see what comes out of it. And it takes hard work!… (mais)
This picture book showed the courage Denmark and its king had during the Nazi threat in Ww2. The king of Denmark refused to deport any Jewish people to the camps, no matter how much hitler threatened him. I knew that certain countries had done this but I did not know exactly which nor had I ever read a picture book about it. I’m glad to have purchased this for my own library.
