Welcome to Litsy!

This #NonfictionGraphicNovel complements Anne Frank‘s diary so well - using her words, along with historical facts about the period, it really transports the reader to Anne‘s world. It‘s sobering, and some of the illustrations are very haunting. But, it‘s also a gentle way to introduce the atrocities those of the Jewish faith faced in World War II era Europe. #MiddleGrade #BBRC

“By then, Anne had developed new interests. Reading was one she shared...“

This book would be good for 3rd graders and above. This would be a good book for when students are learning about the holocaust. It is a comic book so it could be great for younger kids but some of the images towards the end are gruesome so I would gear it towards older elementary kids for that reason.

This is a biography children's book. The text and illustrations are shown by a comic book style. The text and illustrations show consistency in the story because the story stays the same throughout the book through the pages. The book offers interest and meaning for childrens lives today because this was such a historical event. Its important children get the chance to be aware of what Anne Frank and others went through.

Since this is a comic and there‘s not many pictures, I choose this page because it‘s something to be aware of, the pictures of the guns with younger children

I would use this in my classroom with older children when talking about anne frank because it‘s not as serious with comics as it would be with pictures

This is a biography chapter book. This book was fun to read because it‘s a comic and we haven‘t read any yet this year, i liked this book because it‘s was realistic and a good way for kids to learn

Anne Frank: The Anne Frank House Authorized Graphic Biography (B and IR) is a tough book for students to read. Even though it is a Graphic Novel, this book touches upon many difficult topics and can be a hard read. I would recommend it to upper level fifth grade students. This touches upon UDL Principle 5.3: Buid fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance. #LAE3414sp19

This was definitely worth the read. Everyone knows about Anne Frank, but it was interesting reading about her in this format. It gave a little bit of more background on Otto Frank and how the family came to be.

This graphic novel is amazing. I always tell the children I mentor that Martin Luther King Junior and Anne Frank were born in the same year a couple months apart... The perspective this creates is always interesting to hear their thoughts after the shock ..#neverforget #letsgetgraphicweeklongmarathon

Picked this one up from the library on a whim. Didn't expect to learn anything new but I actually did learn a bit about Anne's parents. I even got a bit emotional towards the end. Definitely worth the read since it only takes about an hour!

In honor of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, here are two favorites. I had the opportunity to visit the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam in 2014 and it just brought Anne's diary to life in such an amazing way! I found this 1952 Modern Library edition some years ago with a foreword by Eleanor Roosevelt. #WWII #holocaust #graphicnovel

Book 2 for the Dewey's Readathon! Last year we went to Amsterdam & paid homage to the Anne Frank house. It was beyond moving-stark, terrifying, endlessly sad. I wanted to read this in light of our current political temperature. This panel reminds me how quickly evil can take root. #Readathon
