Summary:
"Gino Bartali pedaled across Italy for years, winning one cycling race after another. And when he won the 1938 Tour de France, his picture was featured on the front pages of many newspapers. Gino became an international sports hero! But the next year, the Second World War began, and everything changed. Soldiers marched into Italy. Tanks rolled down the cobbled streets of Florence. And powerful leaders declared that Jewish people should be arrested. To the entire world, Gino Bartali was merely a champion cyclist. But Gino's greatest achievement was something he never told anyone. Only upon his death was the truth uncovered--that he secretly worked with the Italian resistance to save eight hundred Jewish men, women, and children, as well as others, from certain death, using the one thing no authority would question: his bicycle."-- Provided by publisher.
Audience:
Ages 4-8.
