Graphic & Poetry

I was fortunate to have seen an advance copy of this book, and have ever since been waiting for its publication. Somewhat new to the format of graphic books, I’m slowly getting mesmerized by the way a story can be told in images as well as words. Based on exhaustive research, New York Times bestselling authors Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón have created an accurate and all-encompassing graphic biography of Anne Frank. This is a complete account of Anne’s life, covering the lives of Anne’s parents, Anne’s birth and early years, her life in the Secret Annex, and her deportation and death at Bergen-Belsen. It also presents the remarkable story of the survival of Anne’s father and his recovery and publication of her diary. Through words and illustrations, this book adds beautiful layers to Anne’s life story. —S.M.C.
