WWII was a war against not a country but against a group of people. But did you know that in Denmark, the only people that resided there were Danes; whether being of different color skins, nationalities, and even genders, they were all Danes in the end.
WWII was a terrible war and once it is written down, it became part of history.
The Yellow Star, a story about the stance the Denmark's king took to protect his people. As I was reading it, I became to admire the king more and more. To stand up to Hitler for his people; the courage that must have taken and because his people loved him so, they too followed in his king's footsteps.
An amazing story about courage, and the determination a king and his people did to protect all Danes; as well as beautiful illustration that help tell this great story.
