It's January 1943. 12-year-old Anna Baumann, her mother (Mutti), and her little sister Eva live in wartime Bavaria. Anna looks like the perfect German girl but hates Hitler. The Nazis do not want people to be different or weak, so Eva, who was born with a disability, is kept hidden. If they discover a person with a disability, they send them to an institution where they are starved and killed. Anna does her best to bring joy into Eva's isolated life with stories and treasures from the outside world. A beautifully written and heart-wrenching book about loyalty, love, and finding beauty in small things.
