This moving and hopeful picture book tells the true tale of a daring escape from a convoy heading to Auschwitz. “Just get through one day, then the next. One day at a time!” says Eugène Handschuh, a brave Jewish Resistance fighter in occupied Paris. Captured by the Nazis and sent to Auschwitz, Eugène and his father, with help from new friends and fellow resistors, broke free and survived—while many others didn’t. Inspired by a family connection, former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen brings this story to life with vibrant illustrations by Benjamin Phillips, capturing courage and kindness in the darkest times.
