The Star of David, a symbol of faith and pride, became a tool of hate when the Nazis forced Jewish people to carry papers stamped with that star, so that it was clear who to capture. But many brave souls dared to help them.Jewish teenager Jacqueline Gauthier, a member of the French Resistance who had to conceal her identity, was one who risked her life in secret workshops, forging papers with new names and without stars in order to help others escape. But how to get these life-saving papers to families in hiding?

This lively biography chronicles Christo's humble childhood in Soviet-controlled Bulgaria—under a regime that suppressed individuality and creativity—to his international fame as a bold (and controversial) innovator in the art world. Christo discovered an early love of art and found a way to make a living out of his passion by wrapping bottles, cans, stacks of magazines, and even an air conditioner. When he met his wife, Jeanne-Claude, they moved to New York City as undocumented immigrants and became equal partners in both life and work—he, the artist, and she, the dealmaker.  Together, Christo and Jeanne-Claude made elaborate, visually stunning installations that transformed public spaces around the world, all free to the public. Christo never explained why he felt compelled to wrap things in fabric—rather, his work celebrated individual interpretation and the simple joy of seeing something familiar in a new way. And though each work was temporary, their awe-inspiring designs, uniting nature with the manmade, stayed with viewers long afterward. Covered in Color inspires readers to appreciate the beauty around us, however fleeting, and to push the boundaries of \"possible.\"","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49744570384657,"sku":"NGR9781419756115","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51416953061649,"sku":"CIN1419756117G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B09ZY8PMZ8.jpg?v=1750713925"},{"product_id":"dear-younger-me-book-elisa-boxer-9781538175514","title":"Dear Younger Me","description":"From Emmy award-winning journalist Elisa Boxer comes an inspiring YA anthology of 35 trailblazing women from all walks of life, detailing their struggles and achievements and featuring a personal message from each woman written just for this book, telling their younger selves what they wish they had known growing up.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49753232081169,"sku":"NGR9781538175514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50338468495633,"sku":"CIN1538175517G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51361030078737,"sku":"GOR014239135","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51553760084241,"sku":"NIN9781538175514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52137429303569,"sku":"NLS9781538175514","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1538175517.jpg?v=1751441265"},{"product_id":"tree-of-life-book-elisa-boxer-9780593617120","title":"The Tree of Life","description":"\u003cb\u003eHope triumphs over fear in this poignant and impactful true story of the Holocaust-a delicate introduction to World War Two history for older picture book readers.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e During World War Two, in the concentration camp Terezin, a group of Jewish children and their devoted teacher planted and nurtured a smuggled-in sapling.

The following year Nazis forced nearly 450,000 Polish Jews into a crowded ghetto in the capital city of Warsaw. By the end of the war, most of those imprisoned had been killed, either in concentration camps or on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. But miraculously, their stories survived. HOW? That’s a story in itself . . .  When the Jewish prisoners of Warsaw Ghetto realize that Nazi atrocities might go unanswered, they courageously risk their lives and resist with just pen and paper as their weapons. In an act of defiance, they write and bury deep underground a complete record of what they endured. After the war, Hersh Wasser, the only survivor who knows where the records are buried, leads the effort to recover them.  This true story of the Oneg Shabbat Archive was the subject of an award-winning adult book and documentary film.  Part mystery, part adventure, part tragedy, Under the Rubble tells this courageous, true story as an age-appropriate introduction to the Holocaust. The book includes notes from those who were part of the effort to recover the cannisters. Extensive backmatter includes a historical note, glossary, and a list of resources for further learning.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":52702259118353,"sku":"NGR9781681157092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53261769834769,"sku":"NIN9781681157092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53590880911633,"sku":"NLS9781681157092","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781681157092.jpg?v=1772101915"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-elisa-boxer.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
