13 posts | 8 read | 3 to read
A powerful middle grade novel-in-verse about one boys experience surviving the Holocaust. Moishe Moskowitz was thirteen when the Nazis invaded Poland and his family learned the language of fear. The wolves loomed at every corner, yet Moishe still held on to the blessings of his mothers blueberry pierogis, of celebrating the Sabbath as a family, of a loyal friend. But each day the darkness weighed more heavily on Moishe as his family was broken, uprooted, and scattered across labor and concentration camps. Just as his last hopes began to dim, a simple act of kindness redeemed his faith that goodness could survive the trials of war: That was the day it rained warm bread. Gloria Moskowitz-Sweet relates her fathers triumphant Holocaust story through the words of award-winning poet Hope Anita Smith. Deftly articulated and beautifully illustrated by Lea Lyon, this is an essential addition to the ever-important collection of Holocaust testimonies. Christy Ottaviano Books

The reading of this book made me sad. It makes my heart hurt for the people who had to go through this. It Rained Warm Bread tell the story of a family of five, hiding from the Nazis. It‘s tell the story in the point of view of the middle child. The poems are a great telling of the story.

This book was so sad and it was hard to think that this happened not too long ago. This book was about a Jewish boy name Moishe who is taken to a camp during the holocaust and ripped from his family. The book was written as if it was only his thoughts and not his actions, I liked the way it was written and would recommend.

Cfischbuch Thanks for your review, nice job. 4y
