I thought the text about Irena Sadler was fine. However, I wasn't sold entirely on the illustrations. There are better options for books about Irena Sadler, but if she is a popular topic in your area, or you have a large collection, this would be a nice addition.

Stories about the Holocaust can be traumatic, especially for children, but this telling of the work of Irena Sendler is beautiful. She not only saved 2,500 Jewish children from the ghetto of Warsaw, but kept a record of their families's names so that the families would be able to reunite after the war was over. It delicately tells about the Holocaust and the ghetto and the soldiers without being too graphic or upsetting. While it tells about the horrors, it focuses on the hope. It might be a little bit too wordy to be read out loud, but it's a wonderful book.
