Fania's Heart by Anne Renaud
3.0
I read & evaluated this book for the Vancouver Children's Round Table (VCLR)'s 2019 Information Book Award.
This was quite a moving story, and I really liked how there was an author's note as well. That being said, the illustration style felt somewhat dated. Based on the cover art alone, I'm not sure I would be drawn to the book on a shelf. Occasionally, the narrative felt a bit didactic but it wasn't a deal breaker. Also, I felt like the photo credits were too hidden within the copyright page.
