Requests:  0 Summary:  "Caldecott Honoree and Sibert Medalist Peter Sís honors a man who saved hundreds of children from the Nazis. In 1938, twenty-nine-year-old Nicholas Winton saved the lives of almost 700 children trapped in Nazi-occupied Czechoslovakia-a story he never told and that remained unknown until an unforgettable TV appearance in the 1980s reunited him with some of the children he saved. Czech-American artist, MacArthur Fellow, and Andersen Award winner Peter Sís dramatizes Winton's story in this distinctive and deeply personal picture book. He intertwines Nicky's efforts with the story of one of the children he saved-a young girl named Vera, whose family enlisted Nicky's aid when the Germans occupied their country. As the war passes and Vera grows up, she must find balance in her dual identities-one her birthright, the other her choice. Nicky & Vera is a masterful tribute to a humble man's courageous efforts to protect Europe's most vulnerable, and a timely portrayal of the hopes and fears of those forced to leave their homes and create new lives."-- Awards:  Sydney Taylor Book Award, Picture Book, Silver Medalist, 2022 Audience:  006-008 Norton Young Readers.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked out 06/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Sis Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library J -- Juvenile Biography B Winton Si Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
