This came home with me from the library.Īnita Kempler was born in Poland just before World War II, which would prove to be important because she was Jewish and the Nazis were on their way. Then, with the acquisition of On Market Street, I began to notice the other half of the couple, Anita Lobel. My son and I both have fallen in love with the Frog and Toad series over the past several months, and so I gathered in as many Arnold Lobel books from the library as I could find. In fact, it was with her husband, the author of the Frog and Toad series that got me here. Let’s start with the author, because that is where I started. It takes quite a bit of maturity to digest the contents, especially considering her struggles with her faith. The more recent 2008 reissue cover is much better.ĭISCLAIMER: I do not see this as a children’s or even YA book. Published by Greenwillow Books, New York, in 1998, with an unfortunately drab and unexceptional cover (especially considering that the author is known as a children’s illustrator). N o Pretty Pictures: a Child of War, by Anita Lobel.
